Some fun events coming up

Hi all,
Last time I wrote we were expecting a snow storm, that fizzled out. This time over Memorial Day we are expecting rain, hope that fizzles out too.

Although I will be off the bike for the weekend camping with the family, there are some fun rides coming up during the week.
First off on Thursday night 4 June, Brion will playing road captain if I can call it that and leading the way to LeMars for dinner and Blue Bunny Ice Cream (this is a president's requirement, yes i am an addict). Not your typical poker type of run but, I would bet there will be some interesting things on the way.
On Thursday 18 June we will head to Anthon, IA for dinner. There are other rides in July, Thursday 2 July to Merrill, IA, Thursday 9 July to Bronson, IA for bikers night.
Starting place and times will be posted once we have that figured out. Keep watching!
We will be adding another couple of rides as the summer roles on. So be watching this blog for further events and other activities. Have a great holiday weekend, do be careful and most importantly get out and ride.

Terry,
President, Big Sioux Riders

Sioux Falls Autobahn & Big Sioux Riders Breakfast April 25th in Alcester, SD

The following is an email from Chad Gillen from Sioux Falls:

Autobahner's and Big Sioux Riders: Arlene is looking forward to us on Saturday April 25th. She requested that we be there at 9:30 AM rather than 09:00 AM due to her regular crowd and to have enough room for all of us. She asked that we be patient if we come in with a large group. She seemed very happy that we thought of her cafe for a meeting place. So, Autobahner's if you want to ride as a group plan on meeting at Pilot at 08:00 AM and we will leave at 08:15 AM. According to Google maps and using SD HWY 11 this will get us there right on time. Otherwise meet at Arlene's Sunny Side Cafe, 111 Iowa St., Alcester, SD at 09:30 AM. I forgot to ask if they take credit/debit cards, so be prepared to use cash. Afterwards, we can ride and explore some of the great riding roads nearby.

Thanks Brion

Thank you Brion for inviting me to write a few lines.

I was reasonably sure that winter had ended. Well the Blizzard Warning for this weekend shows that the bike will have to stay in the garage for another weekend. Weather aside, during these storms it seems that the gravel dumped on the road for our cages is a problem for the bikes. I encourage all to be aware of the corners and curves after this storm passes, and ride safely all year.

A quick note about our monthly meeting on Tuesday night 21 April, it is at Peach's in South Sioux City, Ne. I want to start about 6 to 6:30 as some people need time to get off from work. I know there are going to be conflicts, but we will do the best we can. I was going to go with a set menu, but at this time I don't think I will...

Looks like a fun Summer with some event planned about every weekend. I am really looking forward to going to Pickstown for our Mother's day camp out. I have reserved a cabin as I do not do "sleeping on the ground", unless ordered to do so. I would like to see a big group up there and I have a feeling that the weather will cooperate. At least no blizzards. Until Later,

Terry
