Update 20180519

Cruisers,

I’m so sorry to report that I have to cancel tomorrow’s pre-ride to the Blessing of the Bikes. I’m dealing with a family emergency which is going to extend through tomorrow, and I don’t have an alternate to lead the ride. As of now, the Blessing is still on, weather permitting. You can watch the Blessing Facebook page for any weather related cancellation there. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Steve

Cruisers,

Please join us for a pre-ride enjoying some country roads as we make our way to the Blessing of the Bikes at Kil-Kare Raceway in Xenia May 20, 2018. This annual event combines great food, vendors, live music and what amounts to a Holy Water fight as clergy members bless and sprinkle Holy Water on the thousands of bikes in attendance. It’s a good time, even if you’re not of the faith!

Meet us for an optional breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Middletown at 0800. If you’re not hungry, just be sure to be there by 0845 for the ride briefing prior to the 0900 kickstands up.

The ride ends at the Blessing. You’re free to enjoy the event and leave at your leisure. Admission is $3 per person or $5 per couple.

Cruisers, 

Some of our members are planning to join Chapter 344 for a ride to Hillbilly Hotdogs on Saturday May 12, 2018.  If you’d like to ride along, plan to meet them at the Speedway just off the exit at US23 and Main St in Chillicothe.  Here’s a Google Maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/EBv64ozmEa62

Plan to be there in time for kickstands up at 1030!

Update 20180504 – due to overwhelming requests for tours, the Roundhouse is unable to accomodate our attendance at this event. We’ll reschedule at the next opportunity.

—————–

Plan to join us for a ride to Sugarcreek Ohio for an awesome tour of a WORKING steam railroad repair facility! The Age of Steam Roundhouse! The ride is about 220 miles each way and will be expressway for at least part of the ride, so you should be comfortable with expressway riding. Admission fee is $20 for the tour, tentatively scheduled at 2 pm.
