We talked about this briefly at last year's rally so I am throwing this out for consideration. Looking to gauge any interest in making Key West a rally destination for 2024. We could potentially schedule to coincide with Biketoberfest in Daytona, October 17-20. Potential schedule for consideration/discussion could be as follows:




Ride down and enjoy the bike week festivities and vendors that Thursday and Friday
Depart early Saturday morning for Key West
Travel back up to Homestead for an overnight stay



Just some random thoughts on an alternate trip since we have ridden the Franklin NC area repeatedly. Open discussion and input warranted and welcome.

Jeff,

We did this several years ago during the Spring Daytona Biketoberfest. It was a little chilli back then but warmed up once we reached the Miami area.
Very nice easy ride, once in Key West, we ate a great lunch at a converted gas station, we took a group photo on the Pier with a cruise ship docked in the background (I think we had 14 - 15 bikes).
Did the photo with mile marker 1 and the furthest Southern Point in the USA. Afterwards we headed back up around 3:00pm, we stopped near Homestead FL. where we spent the night, we ate at a great restaurant there as well.

Being in the fall, temperatures will be between 70 - 85 degrees. I'm putting this on my calendar, I plan on doing this ride :cheers: 'gw-smiley'

Great idea, hope you get some takers. Our group was down there in September '21, was still SO hot. Ate at an amazing Cuban restaurant. 9123

Could be an option. I'll definitely keep that time open. Maybe good if I can find another Wisconsin rider to ride along.
