What a great turnout at this weekend’s first-ever Midnight Run! Orlando Scooter Society has proven the airport parking garage is superb test of gravity and an over-stuffed burrito at 4am is quite yummy.   Now we would love to see everyone come out for this Thursday’s Scooter Night at 7pm at the Stardust in Winter Park. We will ride out at 8pm to Redlight, Redlight in Orlando for a premier selection of drinks and conversation. We look forward to seeing you there!

Join us this Saturday for the first-ever Orlando Scooter Society Midnight Run.  We’re going to switch things up a bit and meet up at 11pm at the Denny’s on 436 & Aloma.  At midnight, we’ll ride down 436 toward the Orlando International Airport for some terminal cruising, then head south into the Boggy Creek area.  We’ll shift over to the Orlando Racetrack Complex for a glance and work our way back to E. Colonial Drive to end the adventure at California Burrito Kitchen.  There’s nothing like an over-stuffed burrito at 4am. Yum!  This will be a one-of-a-kind ride and we hope you can join in the fun!
