Well, I hope the saying
"April showers bring May flowers" does not apply this year. This March, we had
record rainfall! As much as this curtailed our riding, at least the streets are
clean from road salt! Lets hope for sunny days!
On Saturday, March 16th we held our Spring Bash at the Neighborhood Pub. We had
about 30 in attendance, and all enjoyed our camaraderie and a great meal!
Two months ago, we had a guest presenter, from Accident Scene Management which
is part of the Road Guardians. While their curriculum is thorough and in depth,
most of us felt that the cost, even though discounted, was a bit much, and an 8
hour class a bit lengthy. I do have flyers from them if anyone is interested.
With that, Bill Kenny and myself have put together a presentation that we will
give at 5:30 pm, BEFORE the monthly meeting on April 8th at the Carriage House.
Be there to hopefully get a few tips on how to stay safe! This is NOT a formal
class and will be Bill and I talking from our experiences. We will talk about
ways to keep yourself safe in the roadway, basic first aid, and what to carry in
a first aid kit. Refreshments and food will be served. (later, at Dinner on your
own dime!)
NOTE: We have also arranged, for your viewing pleasure, a Solar Eclipse on
Monday, April 8th around 12:30pm - 3:00pm. Another topic for discussion at
dinner!
