Why the short notice? Because, frankly, the officers are a little tired. Leading an amorphous and diverse group takes energy, and the only reward we get for our efforts is job satisfaction. There hasn't been a lot of that this summer. Margaret was the one assigned to posting this blog, and truthfully, I wasn't sure what to say or how to say it. At first, I thought, we'll do the end-of-year sort of "how do you think we're doing and what do you want from BSLR?" Then I realized that four voices weren't necessarily being heard that way, and it was precisely the four that end up trying to organize and sort out what goes on in our group. Maybe we're trying too hard? We don't know. But we've been thinking about it and talking among ourselves about it, and if you want to hear what we're thinking and feeling, then meet us tonight at the Global Gallery. The menu isn't nearly as robust as at Panera's, but the chai is exceptionally good! We reserved the back room from 7-9 pm--their schedule is a little different than Panera's. Rose and I will be there by 6, as we have some picture swapping to do, and you are welcome to hang out. If you don't like their food choices, there are a few places up and down High Street where you can get something and bring it in.

Love Your Officers' Meeting
Hello! Tonight's meeting is being held slightly farther south in Clintonville, due to our typical Panera Bread location being already spoken for. Global Gallery is located at 3535 North High Street, which is just north of North Broadway and on the west side of N. High. (At the intersection of North High and Dunedin.)

Ride to Stockport Mill!
A lovely ride, of about 2 hours, just outside of Wayne National Forest, gets us there in time for lunch and meandering. Departure is from Motohio, with kickstands up at 9:00 AM!
The route is available in the link above, and as you can see, one doesn't have to go back the way one arrived. You can ride back on your own at any time, or with the group. In fact, if you can't make the KSU time, you are welcome to find your way there later. Fun and flexible, with food! (The 3 most important aspects of any ride. ;)

My favorite rock and roll band The Who, couldn't have said it better..... There ain't no cure for the summer time blues........! The dog days of summer are extra hot this year, I hope everyone is having a fun and safe summer and staying cool as best you can.
Whew! The past few weeks have been packed full of things going on; riding with the girls to the WOW National Convention in Greenville, S. C. was a blast and a road trip not soon to be forgotten. Margaret, Rose, Dee and Maggie are on their way home from Carson City, Nevada and the AMA Women's Motorcyclist Convention. I cannot wait to hear about their ride and all the adventures they've had. Traveling on the motorcycle in the extreme heat our country has been having takes some planning to be somewhat comfortable. I know it was pretty tough riding through North Carolina and South Carolina in 100-105 degree heat and those girls have been riding through it for 14 days!
There are plenty of rides going on in the month of August. On Saturday, August 11th, we have planned a ride with Cathy Bisset planning the route. More on this soon but she said it will be an all day ride to eastern Ohio. Put it on your calendar! There are many new members who we've not had the opportunity to ride together so I hope some of you newbies will be able to make this ride.
On September 2, our president of WOW, Sue Frish wants all of the WOW women to celebrate 30 Years of WOW by taking a ride together or next best thing, riding with your chapter! We will start planning a ride for this great milestone for women in the sport of Motorcycling. Carol has expressed interest in taking a weekend ride in the fall, anyone interested? I am!
That's all for now.
More soon! I wanted to keep in touch with everyone and let everyone know to stay cool and ride safe!
Also, don't forget to check your last issue of Women On Wheels to vote for our future Trustees. Christine has been putting in lots of time for our club and wants to remind all of you to VOTE!
