The Sumter Oaks Biker Gang is breaking up.

During the winter there were as many as 6 bikers in the park at one time. On one occasion friends come from other parks to join in the fun of a ride. This past week we took a ride to Parkesdale in Plant City to get our last taste of strawberry shortcake. We have made this 4 times since we arrived at Sumter Oaks. On this trip we were joined by Brock and Leola and Larry and Rena.

 

 

 

The ride down is about 50 miles. We have written about this before so I won't spend much time repeating myself about it, but it sure is good eating.

 



 This place has a large store area that sells all kinds of veggies and berry related items such as jams and jellies.

 

On Saturday we all took off for Sleppy Hollow Bar and Grill one more time. This time we were joined by Dick and Donna. Dick has been a regular with us all season. He had to miss the ride for strawbarries  so he could pick up his gal friend at the airport. Donna had never ridden a motorcycle before. After riding with Dick for the last week, she said she loved it.

 



 

We ate our steaks at the bar and then were off to travel the Ozella Trail out to the gulf for dessert. We each got a piece of pie. The road to Ozella is a really curvy road and a lot of fun to ride. The waitress was good enough to take a picture for us so we could all in the pic.

Aren't we a handsome couple

 

 

On the way back two of the couples split off to go their own ways. Dick and Donna and we decide to head to Lickity Splits for ice cream. A great end to a great ride.

 

 Brock and Leola and Larry and Rena both pulled out of the park in the last 2 days. Our gang is getting smaller. Louise went back to the eye docror today and they are remaking her glasses so we will be here for a while longer. We will be heading out of here the day after she gets them back. It should take a bout a week. We have really enjoyed our stay here and all the rides we have been able to take. We have made some great new friends and I hope we can meet up with them down the road somewhere.

 

We have been able to play pickleball on a regular basis since we are no longer working in the park. We are playing on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. As long as the weather holds we will continue to play untill we leave here.

Till next time

Duane and Louise
