W.H.O.R.E.S. TCBB3.0

Today we rode with the Wekiva Hills Orlando Regional Expeditionary Society (W.H.O.R.E.S.). A louche bunch of misfits of which no one wants to be a part of. This weekend was the 3rd Annual Treasure Coast Butt Burner. Gary and Craig Riggs came down for the weekend to ride with us.

We agreed to meet at our usual location the Flying J in Fort Pierce with KSU at 7:30. I had decided to swap out the battery in my security fob last week and was surprised when my motorcycle failed to start. Using all my superior analytical skills I determined I had put the new battery in the fob upside down. So running a little late to the meetup it started raining on me about a mile out.

Once I arrived we decided to have breakfast at Denny's and just stay put until the storm blew over.


 Once we had finished breakfast the storm was gone and it was time to ride.
We headed south skirting Port St Lucie with only 2 of Brain's famous U-turns we took Citrus Blvd to Indiantown and Port Myaca. A great spot to over look Lake Okeechobee.


From there Brain led the group around Okeechobee north on Hwy 98 into Sebring. Time for lunch at the Sebring Diner.


Then a quick stop at T J Leather. 



We rode a short part of Florida's Ridge Scenic Highway.  Some of my favorite riding. While coming into Frostproof I managed to attract some bees and got stung twice. A quick stop, Brian removed a stinger from my left ear. No stinger in the arm.  A little break at FrostBite Ice Cream in Frostproof.  Once reaching Hwy 60 on the east side of Lake Wales we headed easttoward home. Brian and the Riggs Brothers continued east on Highway 60 at YeeHaw Junction while Sherry and I head south on 441.

Logging 298 miles and great scenery made for a good day to be out riding and hanging out with friends.

Until next time. C'ya on the Road.
