Quilt Barns and Labor-Saving Opportunities

A few topics of interest to, um, interest you. One, the quilt barn ride is this weekend. We leave from Motohio European Motorbikes at 9:00 AM.  This will be a fairly lengthy ride, but there will be points near major roads for those that have to return early. We will be hunting down quilt barns in Athens county. There are several down there, and in the Athens area, there are always fun ways to get from one place to another. 


Rumble Pack, the Cleveland area chapter of Women On Wheels®, is again hosting a WOW-Ohio weekend, but the date has been moved to Labor Day weekend, and it technically won't be a WOW weekend, as they are extending the invitation to several other women's motorcycling groups in Ohio. It is now called Lakeside Madness (scroll down to get to the information, note also that there is another link to click on to get the registration form.) There is/was some confusion about who got the email. It sounded at first as though they were emailing it out to individuals, but they had gotten a fair amount of bounceback, so they have asked the chapters to get the word out. The.  Word. Is. Out.


Ah, the Alpha Ohio Ride. So quickly launched, so quickly obtained. Yes, Dee and Maggie have completed the alphabet. They will have to fight amongst themselves over who gets first and who gets second. However, do not despair, oh fellow riders! Some of us are still up for the challenge of completion, and there will be consolation prizes forthcoming for  at least the next four top finishers. 


A word of note: Margaret, as you may all know, is a strong gear advocate. Of late, we have had two members go down with their bikes. One member's bike was hurt worse than she was, for another, it may be a draw. Both of those members had gear that took the brunt of the impact. Remember, you can't go back and put it on afterward. Okay, Margaret is s-l-o-w-l-y climbing off her soapbox.
