Due to a motorcycle show taking place in the Daytona Beach and Ormond Beach, Fla., Oct. 16-19, the Love’s Travel Stops location in Ormond Beach will be fuel and go only those days. Long-term parking will not be available, Love’s said in an announcement today.

The stop is located off I-95 on Highway 1.
