Hey all, make your plans to attend the Second Annual G3 Ride on Saturday, May 19th, in St. Augustine, Florida. In addition to a scenic ride on the so-called "Daytona Loop" we'll be checking out a vintage motorcycle show featuring Japanese bikes! If you're interested in going please post up here!

Preliminary plan for the Second Annual G3 Ride:

Saturday, May 19th, 2018
9:00am - 10:00am: Meet and greet at the Murray Bros. Caddyshack at World Golf Village near the intersection of I-95 and International Golf Parkway - address is 455 S. Legacy Trail, St. Augustine

10:00am - about 1:00pm: G3 ride to the "Daytona Loop" which is actually closer to Ormond Beach between Flagler Beach and Daytona Beach.

Roughly 1:00pm: Lunch at the Caddyshack

About 2:00 - 4:00pm: Check out the bikes at the bike show!

4:00 pm - ?: Anything goes - I wouldn't mind ending up at The Columbia for dinner and a mojito.

Places to stay overnight
Camping near St. Augustine:  https://www.visitstaugustine.com/things-to-do/camping (I've camped at Anastasia State Park on the beach - very nice!)
Hotel at World Golf Village:  http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/jaxbr-world-golf-village-renaissance-st-augustine-resort/ (Pretty nice hotel but a little pricey).
Hotel at St. Augustine:  http://www.casamonica.com/ (Awesome hotel with its own private beach club - very expensive but worth it).
(Of course there are hundreds of other places to stay in St. Augustine/Daytona Beach/Orlando area but these are just a few places close by that I have stayed at and can recommend.)

Hope to see lots of VFRs!

Unfortunately I'm probably gonna bail on the ride this Saturday - forecast is for 80% thunderstorms all weekend which sucks.  Plus I've got family coming to town for GG Jr's graduation so I should probably spend time with them - LOL
