Saturday morning Breva ride

This morning I met up with my friends Bob (HD Heritage Softail) and Alan (Ducati Monster S4RS) for a motorcycle ride. Bob has lived in Florida most of his life and he has obviously spent some of that time riding the roads of central Florida as he took us on a great route with some really nice roads and scenery.

We saw a place called Sugarloaf Mountain. It's not a mountain nor does it resemble a loaf made of sugar. But that's what it is called for some reason. Sugarloaf Mountain is the highest point in the Florida peninsula at 312 feet (95 meters) above sea level. It overlooks Lake Apopka, the second largest lake in Florida. This is one of the few areas in Florida I have been to which has some decent hills/elevation changes.

Our destination was a great country bakery called Yalaha Bakery. We stopped there for a coffee and danish. There was a good sized crowd there, including members of some sort of Corvette club.

After breakfast we rode a while longer and then headed off in our own directions toward home. I then took a ride north to Ormond Beach to visit the Moto Guzzi dealer there. They have a swell selection of new Moto Guzzis in stock.

All in all a fun day of riding :=)

Looks like you had a good day of riding :-)

It is a nice ride. What did you think of the 15 mph roundabout at the bottom of the 2 hills out in the middle of nowhere? They started developing the area but it hasn't developed much for the last couple years.
