    OIN DAYTONA BIKE WEEK By Schultz
Thoughts
  n 2020- Go to Daytona for Bike Week! Why this year, in particular? One good reason is because you never know what changes the City might make... Beach Street, in fact, has become just another street with no vending along the waterfront. Even the bridge on Main Street may be closed at some point to build one of those monster bridges. It’s too bad – I love that draw bridge. Main Street still hums along while the track also still has their activities with ven- dors and racing.
Ormand Beach has their own mix of vendors including Destination Daytona. For other activities, there is the Antique Motorcycle Swap Meet and Bike Show at New Smyrna Beach near the Cabbage Patch on the first week- end of Bike Week. Deland is also a cool city to visit. While in Daytona, make sure to check out the Jam-On Swap Meet all week at the Daytona Flea Market.
LET’S EAT: I’m such a creature of habit. What can I say? There are hundreds of places to choose from but these are my favorites:
• Duffs Buffet at the Bellair Plaza 2667 N. Atlantic Ave. Go there hungry and leave full. Many, many great menu items and wonderful staff.
 • Ultimate Omelet, locals love it, great staff, great food, found on Ridgewood Ave, US RT 1, Northbound side 1.3 miles south of US RT 92 International BLVD;
• Steve’s Famous Diner at the southbound side of Atlantic Ave. – two miles North of Main Street- deli- cious meals, bakery on site, great staff; and
• Krispy Kreme at the corner of US RT 92 and Nova is our choice for coffee and doughnuts. Great meeting place too!
Getting to Daytona:
If you can’t ride, another great way if you are coming from the north is to take the Amtrak Auto Train, leave from Lorton VA just south of DC and arrive in Sanford Fla, 30 miles west of Daytona. Takes almost 1000 miles off the trip, Call 800-USA-Railfor info, a sure bet.
Remember ride safe and watch for animals – day or night. A Don’t drink and get on your motorcycle – Just don't do it!!
Don't speed – especially never speed on bridges- that's a sucker’s bet. Ride safe and live to enjoy
Ride safe and live to enjoy! H DAYTONA
