March 21st Meeting Summary

We had a productive meeting last night (3/21).  Following is a summary.

The Iowa Motorcycle Safety Forum is back in Ames on May 19th this spring.  Details: http://www.iowadot.gov/mvd/motorcycle/safety/

For the campout we will have cheese burgers, hot dogs, coleslaw, chips, and brownies (Mark/Terry) Friday evening.  Terry has refrigerator space for hauling cold items (thanks).  All four cabins at the campground have been rented.  If you have a cabin and want to share space let me know.  Terry has reserved lot #20E, which is on the north side of the cabins.  Doug has the south lot reserved #27E (his rig blocks a lot of wind), and the club has a lot south of that rented, #29E.  We plan to grab lot #27E which is a handicapped spot and can't be reserved in advance without a handicap and others as needed.  We have to rent one spot for every 6 campers.  On Saturday, we have decided to meet for a light lunch at the BBQ place in South Yankton for lite lunch, NE rather then in Niobrara.  It's Backroad BBQ, 55698 898th Rd, Yankton, NE.  http://www.bigsiouxriders.org/14th_Annual_Big_Sioux_Riders_Spring_Campout.pdf
