Will be leaving NC on July 2nd which will start an 8 day trip to visit family and friends in central Fla. I anticipate about 2000 miles round trip including local rides while there.
I plan on making the trip down and back a two-day affair, stopping somewhere in Mid-GA going south and then around Orangeburg, SC coming back north.
I've packed gear that will hopefully help manage 95+ temps durng the ride. Departure times will be around 6 am each day to allow early hours of riding when it isn't so hot. That along with frequently rest and hydration stops hopefully will aid in not getting heat related problems.
If I can get off the road around 2pm each day and find a motel/hotel with a pool we should be good to go.
Bike is serviced and ready to go, should be a good time. I'll post a ride/Valkyrie review when done.
