I have March 24-31 off. Wikipedia says March-May is the best time to visit Key West with 70 degree weather, waning winter tourists and the best hotel rates. Who is interested in a long haul?

Yeah, well, with the mpg on my bike, $20 should cover my fuel costs for the trip. I didn't want to be greedy.

I found that hotels in Key Largo were about half the cost of the ones in Key West.  But it is a 2-hour ride from Key Largo to Key West because of speed limits, which they do enforce.

It is definitely worth going though.  Key West is awesome.  Next time I go, it'll be with my wife and we'll plan three full days so that we can see more of the museums, lighthouses, forts, stores, etc.  Maybe even take a boat ride.

I'm in.

I highly suggest cutting though the everglades.

It was the best part last time.

Chitza

I have all week. Yeah. Spring Break is awesome!

I don't plan on this being a balls to the wall ride. Pace and route will be determined by time constraints of those who join the ride.

Bravo!!  It is a ride worth doing, or at least is was in our case.

Wow it was fun! As is always the case, certain things stand out....

The guy at Mallory Square was great!! 

Oh - You thought I was speaking of Reid?  That talented guy of local fame?   www.reidiculousreid.com

Why no!! I was speaking of our very own JBMFT!

THAT guys puts on a show!

Not planning on it. I'm hoping we can avoid interstate in some of the more interesting areas.

We would rather be a ride of leisure.  Stay off the interstates as much as possible.  Chuck has ridden he Everglades and loved it.  I want to take that ride as well.

And where, pray tell, would that be? :) Key West will be interesting, no question about that, but curves? In south Florida?

What is the route down looking like? 
What we've got here, is a failure to communicate.  Strother Martin as the Captain in Cool Hand Luke.
Endeavor to persevere! Chief Dan George as Lone Watie in The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Not necessarily curves. Interesting places, like the Everglades. I'm planning down one coast, up the other. Still looking at maps and attractions.
