Annual Founder's Day Ride

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

AOB Departure: 10:00am Dunkin Donut's Rte 32 Uncasville

AOB Pick Up: 10:30am I 91 exit 33 Jennings Road ramp

This is a membership must do ride.

New Haven County members contact your Chairperson

We will be riding 91 north into Massachussetts so bring a
helmet. This is a traditional ride to the gravesite of Ralph
and Ruth Strong, to pay respect to our founding Father and
Mother of the New London Motorcycle Club established 1939.

Each year we have a nice ride to the gravesite, say a few words,
a pray from our Chaplain and then departure. We have lunch
in town, fuel up and head back to Connecticut. Weather looks
good but cool, dress accordingly. It's a comfortable pace we
have time.

In 1946 the Strong's purchased the 1 1/2 acre site that we now
call home and built the first Clubhouse on it which later burned
to the ground. The old foundation in the back of the property is
still in tack.
 
We have invited members of the Rider's of Fire, The
Freedom Riders, Riders from Mike's Famous and New England
Cycle Works to leave a large footprint and enjoy the day.

This is an important ride for NLMC so a reminder will be sent
