September 11, 2021, the 20th anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. A day that, along with December 7, 1941, will live in infamy. But our nation survived and life goes on. On this 9/11 the Central Florida MSTA had a lunch Ride to Gator Joe’s Beach Bar and Grill located on the north shore of beautiful Lake Wier.
The morning was overcast but no rain. Two of us met in Altamonte Springs at 09:30 for a 1.5 hour ride via backroads north to Gator Joe’s in Ocklawaha. The ride was pleasant with no harsh sun beating down. We arrived at 11:00 to find two riders waiting in the shade of a big live oak. Soon four more riders joined us. We chose outdoor dining overlooking the lake.
Gator Joe’s has a great menu, and the food is well prepared and delicious. We ate and enjoyed really good fellowship with a lovely vista. We departed about 01:00 PM in order to beat the afternoon rain. We missed the rains and had a good trip home via the same backroads. It was a really good ride. I rode 121 miles/195 kilometers.
