C'mon So. Fla. guys- I know theres lots of you on here. If Ed can drive down from Jacksonville then ya'll can make the drive from Miami or Pompano or Tampa...

Hey guys just a direction reminder.Take I95 from the north or the south to Forest Hill Blvd in Palm Beach.Go west about 3 or 4 miles to Okeeheelee Park.The park sits on the northeast corner of the Florida Turnpike and Forest Hill.Do not go over the Turnpike.Take the east entrance into the park.Follow the road after the golf course entrance make right at Tuskeegee Paviion.It sits on a hill.There seems to be alot of parking but the early bird gets the good spot.I have the pavilion from 7am till 6pm.Need snack donators please.Thanks guys!

who's gonna show? come on guys!!! go big!!!!Represent!!!

Sounds like it was alot of fun...sorry we missed it...NEW JOB here ...i couldnt get away...Well Happy Holidays to all....Miss you guys...hope we can get something in the works soon...Rob and family....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

I had a kick ash time, that had to be the #1 location of all of the Florida Bmx get downs. Special thanks to Eric for laying out for the pavilion as well as manning the grill. Nice to meet a couple of the chopper guys as well. I did not see anyone with a camera while I was there, but bikes from 70s were the most represented. for Sorry for those who could not make it, for whatever the reason. I second(third) the idea that the first Saturday of every December be known as the Annual Holiday Bike Bro Down. Mark your calendars now, no excuses.

jesse D

Thanx everyone for comming Saturday.Special thanx to those who contributed goodies and Jim Grahm for the tunes.And thanx John for getting me into a new project.It will be completed in a couple of months if I can help it.It was also cool seeing some Freak bike guys with their choppers.I thought all the old school bmx bikes were killer.Thanx guys for bringing them!We are in for the first Saturday of December 2008!I will get the same pavillion and maybe we will grab the bmx track for a couple of hours if possible to see the over 40 race?Thanx again all you guys!It was killer.

Sorry for those who did not make it.Next year for sure right!
Ed hope your dads better! See Ya!
ERIC

Sorry I missed it.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Unfortunately, Dad didn't survive the surgeries....

I wished I could have been there with you guys!
Next time!!
-Ed

I believe that this will be a Signature Event for the South Florida area. Looking forward to the next one. Can I be a Committee member?
