Ready for some empty, twisty, inviting roads? How about some fine dining? Maybe some bench racing and lots of great comraderie?

Well, mark your calendars for the '2015 Randy's Tour De La Cobra' taking place this year on the lovely roads around Tallahassee.

April 16-18. If you have not done one of these, you are missing a great time of driving, camaraderie, dining, and just old fashion fun.

Based this year in Tallahassee. The host hotel is the Holiday Inn and suites at 2725 Graves Road, Tallahassee, 32303. Phone: 850-536-2000.

There is a block of rooms booked under the Deep South Cobra Club. The rate is $119 per night. Each of you need to make your own reservation to hold your room.

After March 26, the rooms that are not booked go away. Rooms can be hard to find in Tallahassee when the legislature is in session, so even if you are not sure you are going to make it, book the room, you can cancel with no penalty up to 24 hours in advance.

There is plenty of parking for trailers at this hotel.

The event kicks off at 6pm in the hotel lobby where we will check you in and give you the instructions for the tour. Dinner on Thursday night is not organized, but Friday and Saturday are fully planned. We will get started each day at 9.

We have some great sights and tours planned for you, and the April weather in the panhandle is usually mild and dry.
