The City of Altamonte Springs hosted it's annual Fourth of July Red, Hot & Boom fireworks & concert show this past Tuesday night (July 3rd). The weather turned out to be fantastic despite a threat of light rain forecasted earlier in the day. In typical fashion, the fireworks show was first class and spectator attendance was high as to be expected. Most of the roads surrounding the show's venue at Crane's Roost Park were either restricted to one-way traffic or closed off to motor vehicles altogehter.
Note that I said "closed to motor vehicles". But not bikes!!! With all the road closures and crowd congestion there was no better way to get around than on my bike. I have to admit that all the congestion etc. made for a pretty fun and technical Urban Assault riding environment as well! The fireworks show was scheduled to begin at about 9:30pm so I set out about 2 hours earlier to get a bit of riding in and check out the location & spots. I took my camera & drone along as well to get some various shots of the area.
I arrived at the Crane's Roost area around 7:45 and rode all around the area until 10pm without really stopping except to launch the drone for a moment a couple of times and once to chit chat with some police officers for a quick moment.
All in all it was a fun ride with some great sights & sounds.
Peace.
