Orlando area RATs...

Hi Guys,

It seemed to me as though most of the central FL Triumph groups were either located on the gulf coast around Tampa, or north and east of Orlando toward Sanford and Deland. Coverage for south Lake County was seriously lacking.

Consequently, I just started a Yahoo group called South Lake Triumph Riders. If you live and/or ride in the area bordered (approximately) by Groveland & Clermont in the west, to Ocoee & Winter Garden in the east, and as far north as Yalaha and Leesburg, this is spot for you.

Join us at: South Lake Triumph Riders

Hope to see the group grow over time...

Regards,
Ken

Thanks, I've looked into that group, but they tend to live and ride to the north and east of Orlando proper. It's actually quite a large metro area and those of us to the south and west of the downtown area would have a long ride for most of their get togethers.

Ken,

I feel your pain. It's about 80 miles to our RAT meetings, so an hour plus to get there to then ride back. I'm the other side of town than most of my guys too, but at least I'm lucky enough to be closer to the mountains so guys come towards me to ride :)

Hopefully some of those guys will participate with you and help your group grow. Best of luck.

I live in Orlando, but I'll wager that half of the 13,000 miles I've put on my Bonnie in the past year have been on the roads of Lake county, south of Leesburg.

County roads 455, 461, and 48 offer some nice twists and beautiful scenery. The Yalaha German bakery on 48 and the Red Wing restaurant, south of Groveland (frog, gator, elk, and venison are all on the menu), are great places to stop and recharge.

There is great riding in Lake county. Just watch out for all the bicyclists, who come out on the weekends for the hills.
