Riding the Volusia County Loop during Bike Week
If you plan on visiting Florida for Bike Week 2007, be sure to work a ride on the Volusia County Loop into your plans. We will be on the loop photographing riders and their motorcycles on the first Saturday, March 3 between the hours of 1 till 3 pm.
We have been taking pictures on the Daytona Loop during Bike Week and Biketoberfest for the past 3 years and enjoy the work and friends we make. You can see our past loop photo galleries by clicking here to visit our Bike Week site.
The Loop is a great motorcycle ride that is enjoyed by the thousands of visitors to the Daytona, Ormond and Flagler Beach area each year during the two big motorcycle events Bike Week and Biketoberfest. The road is two lane paved that has stretches of straight roadway covered with scenic tree canopies provided by some of Florida’s oldest oaks.
As you ride in deeper into the 23 mile trail known as the “loop” you will encounter some sharp turns and S curves along the low lying wetlands heavily decorated with natural Florida Palm Trees. The ride stretches out from outer Daytona and into Ormond and Flagler Beach.
There are not many places available to stop along the route, so you will want to ride slow to enjoy the view. The few places that allow for bikers to pull over and rest will not be seen until you are right on them, so you will need to keep an eye out for them.

It can also be very hard for us to find a good spot to take pictures along the loop scenic ride, but we have a few places that we can be found working. One of my favorite places is at what I call the lake curve. The picture above and at the post opening were both taken there. This spot gives me a great camera vantage and angle where I can lay near the road and catch motorcycles as they pass on the curve.
Look for me and my wife as you ride and your picture may be posted in this year’s loop ride photo gallery. Pictures are available for purchase and are shot at a high resolution so that they are suitable for enlarging and framing. See you at Bike Week!

Hi Keea,
Saturday is a busy day for me during Biketoberfest, I do photography work for the cabbage patch bar. Normally the wife and I shoot on the loop on the Sunday of Biketoberfest. However, the weather being as it was on Sunday, we packed it up and headed home. I am not sure who might have been shooting out there on Saturday. You may want to try hog pics, I think they shoot over in the marsh area of the loop. Sorry we were not out there, as we have received many phone calls and emails asking.
Bike Week 2008 is going to be huge and we will be taking pictures on two dates during bike week. I will be posting the dates very soon.
Thanks for stopping by : )
Mike
