Meeting Recap--September 24, 2016

Seven of us rode in this Saturday morning to talk over ride plans for October and November. First on the agenda was the camp-n-ride scheduled for Friday-Saturday October 21-22. The group settled on a start time on Friday of 2:30 pm, meeting at the Chevron at exit 27 of I-575 in Ball Ground. Larry will lead. One highlight that weekend will be seeing the fly-in at Suches

A second group will leave Saturday morning, from the Shell station at the intersection of East Cherokee Road and Ga 140, meeting at 8am ready to go. This group will ride to Suches and join the folks who camped Friday night. After observing the fly-in the group plans to ride east on Ga 180 to Ga 17 head south for lunch then ride north on the Richard Russell, and then down Us 19 to Dahlonega and points south.

More details will be forthcoming as the ride date approaches.

In an effort to avoid conflicts with family plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas  the group decided to combine meetings and rides on November 19th and December 10th. On these dates we will meet at Timothy at 8 am for a short meeting, no more than an hour, then ride as a group on routes yet to be determined.

The remainder of the meeting included a discussion about non-riding folks at Timothy that have expressed an interest in getting started in motorcycling. We'll follow up as appropriate with them to help them get started correctly.

On the other side of the ledger the group was informed that John has sold his bike and has decided, after 43 years of riding, to hang up his helmet and go with four wheels. We'll miss you John.

One short video we watched is worth a second look, as I brings a new meaning to "he's a lucky dog".

Our next meeting will be October 29th
