Aug 15 to Bradenton

20 years ago was the last time Kim and I were on the west coast of Florida. And at 3:oo I was heading down I 4 west towards I 275 south and the Sunshine Skyway. Fueled up prior to set up the helmet cam to bring some of the thrills of seemingly riding straight thru Tampa Bay.I hope the video dosen't disapoint, what a visual thrill! After the 2 huge bridges dropped on to 70 for a short run and exited into Bradenton. Within 10 minutes was at two of my Great Friends and Rider heros that mean the World to me. Jim was a riding Instructor long before me, we talk and I absorb his wisdom. Carol,an expert on the Range, is the one who taught me the range layout, still use her notes today,invaluable. So good to see them, took me out 4 Chinese, and Sana Maria Island to view the Gulf of Mexico, tremendous.only 155 miles today, here on out,will be heading home.Nite
