Since nobody's posted a suggestion yet, and since it's supposed to be cool this weekend, how about a central FL lunch place? That might get some of our southern riders (and our new member from Port St. Lucie) to join us. Has anyone been to The Port Steak and Seafood in Lake Wales? It has a Haines City address but is right on Lake Hatchineha. We were there for the first time last month and enjoyed the chowder, burgers and seafood. Very casual, paved parking and large enclosed deck. Check it out and see what you think. Map: http://goo.gl/maps/z5w1tMenu: https://locu.com/places/the-port-haines-city-us/#menu |

Been there once before, last year, it was under new management. Don't remember what I ordered but I had no complaints. It is a whopping 20 miles from my home, I guess I'll have to take the long way there and stretch the ride a little more  |

That is a definite maybe on Sat.  Mid 40's when 8:30 AM rolls around and I'll be there. Upper 30's to low 40's and I'll have to think twice. See you there..........maybe. |

Well if everyone would like to try this place, we can do the usual meet time at 11:30-11:45, kick tires and eat at Noon. I'll give the restaurant a call on Friday once we have a more definite count.

Jack I can make this a 3 hr ride, want to start from our place? Thanks DD I should have known better than to post I need a longer ride here on the Valk forum Darn Can't make this one gotta work this Saturday. You guys have fun. Really, never thought I would hear those works coming from you  You will be missed brother, next time. Billyboy, the meet won't be the same without you. Sorry you can't make it. Will have to post photos of another stogie smokin' dude who looks good in daisy dukes. Jack, do you smoke? Oh crap, between you and Gil, we have to be on the look out for cameras. I DO NOT SMOKE, I am not a good candidate for your daisy duke pics plus You know how the saying goes (referring to Billy's daisy dukes pic) " Those are some big shoes to fill' or should we say "Shorts to fill"  |

Is anybody still going? It appears we don't need to leave Zhills until around 10. Should be above freezing by then.

Roger, due to the holiday and expected cold weather, it looks like you'ins and us are the sole survivors of this ride. Perhaps we should call it off and try this location another time. What do you say? |

Pennie I'm definitely going to ride somewhere. Can't let the bike sit still too long it might rust. Patti is getting kinda iffy because of the temps but another couple in our park expressed interest in going on a ride. According to mapquest it is only a little over an hour from here so it will have a chance to warm up. How about if we decide tomorrow morning? How early will you be on computer?

How about we check in here by 9am tomorrow? That will give us a chance to bail gracefully (no shaming) and make other plans for a different ride, yard work, Todd cleaning the house, etc.

OK!! Pennie see you guys there.
Nick I will be going east from Zhills then south to Haines City and Lake Alfred then south to Lake Wales.
Probably pretty out of the way for you guys since you will be leaving from further south.

Home @ 6:00. Nice day, a little cold in the AM but good company and good food. We didn't solve all the worlds problems and may have created a few more to add to the list. |

Sorry I didn't see this post earlier. I'm sure going to look more often. Being that it was Valentines Day I did have previous plans, but, would have made the effort to go. Don't have any idea where the place is but sure I could find it with my GPS. Ride safe!
