Anybody up for a 5 Bridges run?

Is anybody up for a 5 bridges run? I was thinking of putting something together for a Sunday in mid-January.

For those who haven't heard the term, a 5 Bridges run is a run that goes over all 5 major bridges over Tampa Bay.

I envisioned a route that would start at the usual TBV start place behind Hooters in Brandon, head south down 301 or 75, and back north over the Skyway (bridge 1). Then up 275 to Gandy and east over Gandy Bridge (bridge 2). Next north up Dale Mabry to 275, and west over the Howard Franklin (bridge 3). Northwest on Roosevelt past St Pete/Clearwater airport, then north across Bayside Bridge (bridge 4). East on US60 and over the Courtney Campbell (bridge 5), and finish at one of the eating/watering holes at Rocky Point or therabouts.

No door prizes, raffle tickets, dash plaques, etc. Just a nice drive.

Anybody else up for this?

That sounds like fun. Keep us up on the progress.

Ok, I'm sitting at Hooters now, about to leave for a pre-run. MS Streets & Trips says it's 108 miles. I'll check back in when I finish.

I took a little different route than originally planned. Almost exactly 100 miles. An hour and 45 minutes. Nice drive, although it is mostly freeways/urban. The only issue is the selection of restaurants at the end. All in the high-rent district, and a little pricier than family buffets. We'll see.

Depending on the date I'm in.

I haven't let my inner pervert out yet.

Don't think I could make New Years. I usually work the New Years eve then again on New Years night. Holidays are a pain for me. Working Christmas eve and Christmas this year as well.
