Any Tampa Florida Rat Rod Bikers?

[rusty513]

Well there is a really good chance my wife & I will be moving to Tampa from Cincinnati Ohio & I'm curious if there is anyone in the Tampa area to meet up & ride or any clubs? I guess I'll have to start a Tampa chapter of the Rat Riders. The Cincinnati Rat Riders which I started 7 years ago has come along way from our first bicycle event of 5 people to now 200 people & also having monthly rides in the summer, I'm really going to miss that

There is a local group called Gulf Kruisers of West Florida based out of Sarasota. The rides are not restricted to only the Sarasota area, they are held in Pinellas County and Hillsborough County as well. They host rides once or twice a month and sometimes afterwards have a picnic or a cookout. If you have a Facebook account they have a FB page with info and and where ride events are posted.... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gulf-Krui ... ts&fref=ts

I'm in NPR, just north from Tampa.
Their are nice bicycle trails all over, choose one!
Suncoast trail is great for long rides, a little borish.
St. Petersburg has a sweet attitude and place for bicyclist.

There are a bunch of us around the area. Even over into orlando but it seems hard to get every one together for some reason.

Is that Newport Richey? If so, that is an area we may be looking at. Is it nice?

Didn't see this post before, sorry.

Yes New Port Richey. It is pretty nice, there are the slums but they are nothing compared to the goverment housing project where I grew up.
Guys here are different, not like "HA," funny or "HA HA," funny but back stabbing lying cheating thieving crooked Florida only club members. Sorry I said it, but there it is. I have been here almost 3 years and all my friends here are out of towners, like me. I have lost 2 jobs because of someone lying on me, so cover your job backside.
Love it here, the land is beautiful, it doesn't snow.

Southeast Tampa suburbs here. I keep meaning to join the club for a ride, but life keeps intruding.
