From the President

Again this year your e-board is working hard to develop an enjoyable and interesting riding season. Some are working on events, others the calendar of day trip destinations and benefit rides, and yours truly and the Road Captain planning away trips.


ROUGH DRAFT

Trips Northeast Tour

The Featured Trip this year will be a Northeast Tour
We are talking about a ride through the Catskills, north to Lake Ontario, (1 night) continuing to Niagara Falls Canada, (2 nights), returning through the Finger Lakes to Lake George (1 night) then home through Vermont. A total of 4 nights, 5 days, about 1200 miles. All beautiful riding and scenery. The dates have not been selected but possibly the last week of July or first week of August. You will need a passport or pass card. I recommend the pass card because it's cheaper and good for 10 years. Jason tracks those who are interested. Please e-mail him or myself if you are interested. You should think of this as a vacation versus a weekend ride.

Rolling Thunder

May 29,30,31 - 2 nights
Please decide soon if you are interested. I believe we have 16 on the list so far. This needs booking well in advance so please don't hesitate. Sometime in mid-February I will be booking a block of rooms. I am trying to keep it under a $ 100.00 per night, hopeful less than $ 80.00. I will select a block base on the numbers at that time, and then you can book. After that you are on your own.
