This is on top of Bud n Mary's located at the 79.5 mile marker. On this stop of the bike tour, we talk about Papa Joes, Indian Key, and a crazy Keys crime that happened Christmas Eve 2001. Thanks to Bubba and his riders, we had almost 50 riders on the tour. Almost $300 was raised toward my kids wrestling program. Bubba's crew  were a lot of fun and fun natured. Remember, Veterans Day we are going to have a ride. So call and join the fun.
