I took a little 300 mile ride today linking up with riders from the BMWLT.COM (http://www.bmwlt.com/) South Eastern Forum (http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=24) as well as the BMW Space Coast Riders for an RTE (Ride To Eat) at River Ranch Resort (http://www.westgateriverranch.com/index.cfm).

We gathered at Noon riding in from all over Central Florida and on just about every model of BMW Motorcycles were represented along with the odd HD and Wing.

We had a fine lunch with ample tire kicking on the side.

I left River Ranch on SR60 heading East for about 20 miles just to get a photo of the YeeHaw Junction sign.

Storm clouds building over central Florida show these nice light shafts.
