Serious Update

President Pete and I managed to get together this week for a long overdue face-to-face, and the push is underway to get me back on track.

I found out that the Three Passes Ride scheduled for the May meeting day was cancelled due to weather, and we will be trying to come up with a good date to make that ride. It will consume an entire day, but it is undoubtedly one of the most scenic rides on our schedule.

The Steel Dreams ride went off as scheduled, and it was greatly enjoyed by those participating. Pete can’t stop slobbering when he talks about all the great food that was available at Skagit PowerSports (Chapter 154s sponsor), and how well received all the riders were.

The ride to Joseph, Oregon over the Memorial Day Week end had some chilly spots, but Pete indicated that it was a good ride.

The midnight ride around Mt. Rainier has dropped from the agenda because the roads are still closed from the devastating storm damage throughout the park.

There will be an event on Saturday, June 30 that promises to be an excellent make-up for some of the things we have missed. An invitation has gone out to Chapters 323, 350, and 403 to meet-up for a scenic ride through the Port Townsend end of the Olympic Peninsula with a hamburger feed at Marty Peterson’s.
Pete has asked us to meet-up at the Hilltop Market on highway 3 between Silverdale and the Hood Canal Bridge (much closer to the bridge) at 11:00 AM, and proceed as a group from there. If you have questions or comments, go to the Yahoo Group and join the discussion…or email/call one of the other members.

The Poker Run is still on for the 24th (this coming Sunday), and one or two more volunteers are needed to man a checkpoint for a few hours. You must be at Brothers PowerSports by 8:00AM.

I hope you are all enjoying the great weather we have had recently, and I hope it holds up for all our scheduled events.

Stay safe…
