Monthly Meetings
Monthly meetings are upbeat and full of joking and laughter. It's a great time to catch up with what other member's have been doing, share activities with other visiting chapters, and get to know any new members and/or visitors during dinner. We provide a sign-up sheet for all of the upcoming rides and events, so make sure you sign up for these during the break.
Mystery Dinner Rides
Mystery dinner rides are great fun. Sometimes it's just an excuse to ride; sometimes the ride is just an excuse to eat. Either way, it's fun and you always get to sit by someone new! Restaurants vary from old familiar ones to new experimental ones. If you are in charge of the Mystery Dinner ride, your mission is to decide what restaurant we are going and make the reservations. You need to make sure they can handle the size of the group and that we can all sit somewhat together. Some restaurants have been willing to set up one big table. A couple of days before the ride, you need to call the people signed up and remind them about the dinner. Once we all arrive at DQ, we will divide bikes into groups if necessary and make sure leaders of each group know where we are heading. Have fun in planning these—they can be pretty easy as long as the restaurant knows what to expect.
Progressive Dinner
Progressive Dinner is misleading, as it can be a whole day’s event. Typically we go to the first house for coffee and breakfast. Our next stop is for soup or salad. We leave from there to the next person's house for the main course, take off again and go for a longer ride if possible before heading for the Gold Wing favorite, dessert! It is amazing how tired we can all be after having done nothing but ride and eat all day! Another great tradition which is always open to new and different ideas.
Women’s Weekend
Women’s Weekend is just that. A chance for the ladies to visit and get to know each other. There are lots of laughs and good sharing. Just remember, the more you do, the faster you get to know all these crazy people.
Christmas Party
Each person attending is asked to bring a wrapped gift for either a male, female or “doesn’t matter” to be bartered off. That in itself is a wild and crazy affair. Don’t get too attached to what your first pick is—if it is good it won’t be yours for long!
Impromptu Rides
Show up with a full tank of gas and there is no limit to where we will end up. Some rides have taken us out of state to just a quick ride into the mountains. |
