Years ago, former State Director, Bill Royal, held an annual lunch ride to Peck's on Jan. 1. This event waned over time, though we continued to visit Peck's for our Central Lunch Rides. We were scheduled to be there this October/November, but were thwarted by that 4.875+ Hurricane Michael. Peck's closed for repairs, and are back in business with open doors and waiting tables!! Here's what Tom says:

"FL MSTA is re-introducing the New Year’s Day Lunch Ride for 2019. This used to be a very popular event originated and run for about a decade by past state co-director and high mileage rider Bill Royal. So, for 2019, start your new year out Royally with a ride to one of Florida’s best gulf coast seafood restaurants at the end of one of Florida’s twistiest roads. New year, new miles.

Peck’s is located out in the gulf’s marshes between Crystal River and Homosassa and is old Florida charm at its best. Nine miles of twisty Ozello Trail takes you out there. Everybody raves about Peck’s seafood. The property is clean and comfortable and the whole staff at Peck’s are extremely accommodating.

I am planning to ride along with two friends. It will be an approximately 100 mile/161 kilometers one way, about 3 hours. I had hoped that Keystiger and Banzai could make this ride. However circumstances interfered and they cannot join us. Mabel will be riding with me.
 
Looks like a nice ride and a way to ring in 2019.
Have fun and post some pics if you get the chance.
We'll be digging out from a New Year's day snowfall.:ice2:
Think of us poor snowbelt peeps when you're enjoying that ride, will ya?;)
 
We had a great ride in perfect weather. It was 66F/19C when we left at 0745. On the ride home it was 83F/28C. The Ozello Trail is a fun ride. It is the most twisty road in Florida; but is flat, no hills.

My two riding buddies and Mabel. She drove her truck; the pillion seat is not comfortable for long rides.

Carl, 66 and blue sky, all we have is rain and humidity, looks like a good place to ride to also!
Sorry your weather is so lousy. I surely don't want to trade weather with you! :)

Wow what a stunning place for a ride and there was a great turnout by the looks of it.
It is truly a great place for a ride. We had several MSTA members from up north join us for this ride.
