OK, so it’s not the Rockies….and calling it Mount may be overstating it a bit but it’s as close as you are going to get in the state of Florida. Back by popular demand. For a record 4th year…

THE GOLD COAST BEEMERS RETURN TO MT DORA!
Last year’s trip was spectacular. We had great weather, incredible routes and an unbelievably good time.
This year our intrepid Road Captain, Sir Lawrence of Karnick* is working on finding us some fantastic new roads to explore.
We will meet up Friday March 29th at the Turnpike Plaza just north of Lake Worth Road at 9:30 AM then take a scenic back road ride up to our hotel:

Comfort Inn Tavares
1380 E. Burleigh Blvd.
Tavares, FL 32778

To Make Your Reservation Call The Hotel (352-253-2378) And Use Group Code: TE90D6.
THE DEADLINE FOR MAKING RESERVATIONS UNDER OUR GROUP RATE IS THURSDAY FEB 28TH.

*Lunch time and location TBA
Saturday, we will once again challenge Florida’s curviest road, The Ozello Trail and have lunch at Pecks Old Port Cove, which is at the end of the trail. Options after lunch include and additional ride up to Cedar Key Florida, a leisurely back road ride to the hotel or a historical trip through the area in remembrance of the Groveland 4 tragedy.

Saturday’s club dinner is at Pisces Rising in Mt. Dora. http://www.piscesrisingdining.com.
Pisces is an upscale restaurant with great food ($$$), drinks and service. There is a live band or a DJ on the outdoor patio on Saturday nights. Apparently, we tipped adequately last time and they are happy to have us back in the same private room as last year. The Club will arrange transport to and from the restaurant for the group. (Actual cost per person is approximately $11.00 per person).

This year we will have the full dinner menu available for your culinary enjoyment.

Sunday morning you are free to form your own groups and explore or ride home at your leisure.
