February Meeting Cancelled
After discussing the road conditions near WB Motors with Eric (owner) and Wes (Tech Chair), I've decided to cancel the BoD and the General Membership meetings, tomorrow, Saturday, February 13, 2010. The roads are clear and dry going TO WB but the side streets and parking is still covered. Members would have to park 2 - 3 blocks away and walk in the streets to get there. I just don't feel it is prudent to go through this for the meeting.
February 2010 BTS
Coming fresh off the heels of the 'blizzard of 2010' arrives the BTS! Included are some notes about the upcoming Square Route Rally, Mileage Contest Results, a review of a pretty nifty Park-n-move system by Larry Cain, and more!
Enjoy!
January 2010 BTS
Hey WAKE UP it's 2010 already! And this BTS is up for the job with a host of great articles. Seems all the guys were asleep for December because this BTS is FULL of articles written by women! VP Maria discusses the upcoming Rally details, Karen Ager contributes a great article discussing her search for the perfect bike for her, and Tina contributes her experiences in getting back in the saddle.
