Sunday, February 15, 2015, started at 5 am in 68-degree weather. It was a clear, low humidity with very little to no wind type of day. All in all a great day to ride. The kind of day that makes you just want to get into a convertible with the top down or on your motorcycle and just ride. Cesar, Dawn, Diana, Jodel, Seresaa and I participated in the Hispanic Business Initiative Fund (HBIF) Tour Latino event in Clermont, FL.
