Twin Cities Chapter

CLUB NEWS

Okay, who stole Summer? I mean really where did it go? As you are reading this the State Fair is wrapped up (Boo-Hoo) and School is starting soon (Yeah). I hope you had time to take a Motorcycle Vacation or at least a day or two to wander around this great country of ours.
So what did we do in August?

Hat Run- We rode, we ate, we rode some more. Can life get any better than this? We had 6 bikes leave the South ride Point at 8:00 AM, picked up a couple of strays at Tobies and met up with the Twin Ports folks a little south of Cloquet. As the ride leader I have to apologize for getting to Gordy’s late. Sure it was only 4 minutes late, but I try to be punctual. Food at Gordy’s was excellent as usual. Dave Limmer from Twin ports led us thru Jay Cooke State Park (which is now repaved and gorgeous). We backed road-ed to the interstate and then we all went our separate ways.

Rockies Rally- We rode, we ate, we camped, we ate, rode some more and of course ate some more. The biker buffet was as always excellent. I highly recommend anyone who hasn’t attended this event to try it next year. Not a camper? The camping cabins are the best of both worlds.

Star West Ride- Mike Guari attended this event and reported it was well worth going to. We’ll have to add this one to the 2009 Ride Schedule.

UPCOMING EVENTS
