This is a short travelogue about our 3-day trip to Daytona and back. There is some video footage, pictures, a map of the alternate route we rode from Tampa to Daytona. It was impossible for us to go to all events that occurred but we tried to all the things we didn't have time to do during Biketoberfest.

From Tampa to Daytona

The route we rode to Bike week '06, was not the usual I-4 route. We decided we wanted to take a scenic route which started out to Route 54 via Race track road. The road trip went as follows:

Forest Lake Blvd to Race Track Rd
Race Track Rd to Gunn Hwy (587) North
Lutz Lake Farm Rd to Angel Ln
Gunn Hwy (587) to (54) East
(54) to I-75 North
I-75 to 470 East
Lake Denham (33)
W CR 44 & SR 19 head North
Altoona (19) to (42E)
44 East
De Land to 15A
92 E to Daytona

The Iron Horse Saloon & The Wall of Death

The Iron Horse Saloon was an attraction in itself. It is laid out similar to a wild west corral. Lined with shops and watering holes serving beer, beverages and food. There is an upstairs deck where you can hang-out and watch the featured band playing on the stage centered below. The saloon is definitely a place to check out in Ormond Beach, FL. Even if you are not a biker, you can check the Saloon's website for events that you can bring the family to.

The Wall of bikeweek-06-033-tn Death attraction also known as the motordrome, was performed by the California Hell Riders. There were 3 riders that rode at high speeds perpendicular to the audience.
