Whoa the Weather!


February and March has just been terrible weather, so not much has happened. My trip to Jefferson was rained out. Maybe we will get some good riding weather this week. Looks like 70 degrees with a 30% chance of rain for the meeting on Sunday. Ride your motorcycle to the meeting and bring a friend, Weather permitting. Lots of events coming up. We will plan a ride next month to Glenwood on April 25 for our next meeting and talk about up coming events ( see up coming events )
