Florida Here We Come !

Looking forward to spending the next couple of weeks in lovely Florida riding and socializing with members of the Stark County Bike club.  This is our 8th year traveling to Venice with about 40 of our riding buddies and a few non-bikers as well who come along to enjoy the fun in the sun.
We are heading out with our van packed with three singles inside (Trek Madone, Cannondale, and Trek 5200) and our Burley tandem.  We have room for all kinds of 'stuff'.  We are taking along Linda S's and Erika S's luggage too, as they are flying down, and they won't have to check their bags/bike gear.  We are stopping in Clayton, NC to pick up my brother-in-law, Steve.  It will be his first multi-day biking adventure!  The Trek 5200 is coming along for him. We have the bike rack on the back and it will hold another bike that Steve has, a 'comfort' type bike.  It will ride on the rack in the back. 
Daisy kat, our cute calico kitty kat is also coming along.  Part way that is, for she will be staying safely with our daughter in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

 

Our Saris 3-bike rack fits nicely on the back of the van.  We will need it when we stop in NC to pick up Steve and his bike.



Daisy Kat is in her pet carrier, ready to travel to stay with Sarah in North Carolina.
