It is May already, just put most of the major rallies in Florida in the history books! May brings us pretty weather to get out and ride, not too hot and usually not too much rain. We are throwing an event at Drifter’s Riverfront Bar & Grill in Astor on Rt 40, it will be Saturday, May 21st 3-7pm. Ronnie and Mechele, the new owners, have been friends of mine since the first issue of Thunder Roads Florida over 15 years now. They bought the Blackwater Inn in September and have remodeled it. Ronnie had Drifters in Daytona, McHenry’s in Flagler, Deadwoods in Ormond, County Line in Bunnell, McHenry’s in Keystone Heights and now is at the helm of a beautiful 2 story St. John’s River waterfront bar and restaurant. The food is GREAT! Come out and enjoy our pirates and bikers’ bash! Giving $50 to best pirate and best biker outfits. Come by boat, bike, or cage for a fun afternoon of Twisted Tea giveaways, Twisted Tea girls, and live music by Grass Campers!!
