Without wheels the rally will be difficult, but the factory tour is always interesting, plus it's a great chance to put faces with names and shatke a hand or two. Mark usually puts a couple of interesting things together for entertainment, last year was a custom trike show. Your entry gets you a free T shirt, or has in the past, and there are vendors and guest speakers ................... just a great time. Stay tuned, you will hear of pre rally rides and get togethers, who's going and who's not. David

For the competitive types or those who would like to cheer on their favorite racers you can make it a great long vacation worth the ride: Sebring 12/24 is February 18-20. and HPRA Florida is February 26-27. Both have had Catrike owner participation and Catrike Team appearances. On the way to the rally from south florida Some might even want to do LOST ride. (A nice 110 mile ride around Lake Ockeechobee on the Scenic Trail.) Some other ways to fill your life with rides. Watch for the pre-ride rally rides as they are developed on Florida's Great regional trails. I would like to retire and play more....

Posts: 801 Dec 18 10 9:32 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Walt, There are 3 choices near that I know. The edgewater in downtown Winter Garden is an antique nice old hotel and convenient. The Best Western and Courtyard in Ocoee. Very near. In my humble opinion I prefer Courtyard. Edgewater second and Best Western last. My preference is based on the cleanest and least run down and the most comfortable bed. Last year I stayed at Best Western and I didn't like it. Maybe the luck of the draw but It was not clean, the bed was not comfy and there was no hot water. For what it's worth. Harvey

Since I've had just so-so rooms from Best Western in the past I also booked the Courtyard. Check-in Friday March 4th. Walt

Posts: 18 Dec 19 10 12:44 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was wondering if there were any campgrounds in the area. We're hoping to have one by the end of January or middle of February and that would be a great Christening for it! Walt

Posts: 262 Dec 19 10 1:47 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yes, there are a campgrounds in the area. Check this website-.> http://www.campflorida.com/ . Catrike H.P.V. is in Winter Garden, Florida. Other cities you might check are, Ocoee, Clermont, Oakland and Killarney. We have never camped in the area. There is also a state park near Clermont about 16 miles from Winter Garden. - http://www.floridastateparks.org/lakelouisa/activities.cfm#12 I neglected to mention the campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort which is about 17 miles south of Winter Garden.

Posts: 87 Dec 19 10 7:35 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hi, Living all the way over on the west coast I was wondering if anyone flies in and rents a trike? Or can you ship yours to the factory? Just curious at this point, plus I've never been to Florida, this would be a good excuse to go!

Ccroy, I am unaware of anyone that rents Catrikes in our area. The Killarney Trailhead and the Winter Garden bike shops use to rent other brands of trikes (Sun). Killarney sold it's EZ-3 SX Tadpole trikes last fall and Winter Garden closed it doors about three months ago. I was told by the owner of the Winter Garden (EZ-3 USX HD Delta Trikes), that he is still renting his bikes and trikes - Adaptive Cycling - info@adaptivecycling.net - Phone 407-877-8030 - for more information or reservations. As far as shipping, I would recommend that you contact WheelWorks bike shop the Big Cat Dealer in Winter Garden, Florida. The shop is located right on the West Orange Bike Trail in downtown Winter Garden, where the factory tour ride is held. For further information contact Dennis at WheelWorks.- 407-654-1496 - Hours Mon-Fri 10am-7pm, Sat 8am-5pm, Sun 8am-3pm - email: cycling@wgwheelworks.com - 101 W. Plant Street, Winter Garden, FL 34787 We were out on the West Orange trail today, simply wonderful!

Posts: 3399 Dec 21 10 5:34 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Peggy and I have stayed at the Edgewater five of the six prior events. We have our favorite room reserved. It is a bed and breakfast. The rooms are period furnished. The staff are the members of Adam's Road, a christian rock band and it the Edgewater is right on the trail. Down town where the "action" is. Two of the night clubs have live bands these days. There have been barber shop groups and jazz bands in the town center at night. We even attended the grand opening of the winter garden theater a couple years ago. It was a gala event with chorus, ballet, dance, theater, multimedia, and the muppets. The local talent is very good. Max at the Edgewater can explain his past lives. The Winter Garden museum is interesting as well. We stayed in ocoee once and found the facility fine. Trike Diva and Peggy have talked about an evening event on Friday or Saturday night... Mike Last Edited By: mikeatlbch Dec 21 10 5:37 PM. Edited 2 times.

Guess I better make reservations soon at the Edgewater. Peggy and I need to talk more about a Saturday night get together for the group. Anyone else interested?

Posts: 46 Jan 4 11 8:06 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I booked our flight today. Last year it was just me, Barbara was being treated for breast cancer. This year it will be both of us again. We may be out of shape but planning to ride all 3 days. Just look for the Maryland Flag and the Big Red Crab flag. Our gang from Mount Olive Shores will be there in full force. steverem 07, 08, 10 Trails Actionbent suspended ICE QNT
