Each month rain or shine…cold or hot…a loyal group of riders show up at the Boat Bar in Port Orange for a day of riding “somewhere.” And to these folks it doesn’t seem to matter where. Far or short, they just saddle up and head to the stops for the day. The ride in August took us to Crossroads Tavern in Bunnell where our friend Janice was visiting the new owner, Holly. Working in corporate America for most of her adult life, she now proudly is at the helm of Crossroads and is happy to have bikes pull in. Next stop was The Oasis in San Mateo where the owners Larry and Tia came in on their day off just to see us. We then jumped on the bikes for a short scoot to Satsuma to the old Hermits Cove, now the Gnarly Gar, a GREAT waterfront dive bar that has been updated enough without losing what the bar is known for. Long’s Log Cabin in Welaka, owned by dear friends Waylon and Tonya, was the next stop and the misfits in our group saw a children’s mini train ride across from the bar and were able to sneak a seat for a photo without getting arrested! We then had a bit of a hike back to dinner at The Boat, but no one cared. We were simply happy for the first time in a bit that we didn’t get wet! Mike Jones, from A -OK Guns in New Smyrna Beach won the 50/50 money. And FYI, if you are looking for guns or ammo, the State of Florida is having a tax-free holiday from now until the 31st of December and Mike has LOTS of guns for sale! Come put some miles on your bike with our group next month on Saturday, November 29th! We usually have several female riders and of course we love that!! The Boat Bar has $2.50 domestics all year long!!!
