I want to thank everyone that came to the meeting, and also say hello to all that couldn't make it.I would like to welcome Terry,Nancy and Barry to our group. We have come up with a good ryde schedule this year with a little bit of something for everybody. First,I want everyone to keep Brenda Knuckles in their prayers. Brenda is our Betty Boop Lady that we all love and want to let her know we are thinking of her as she battles an illness. We love you Brenda!!!!!!! Hope to see you ryde with us!!!!
Second, Barb and Joy showed up to the meeting with shiny new Spyders !!!! I think that leaves me,Barry and John with ryding the Classics!!
Here is the 2018 schedule..I am excited about this year and I hope you will be too! As always,all ryders are welcome..You don't have to have a Spyder.
