Summer Riding

The Veterans Assistance Fund Ride day started out mostly sunny, turning partly cloudy as we waited for other riders to show up. Sign in brought some sprinkles, then the sun came out to shine. As we started the run, the sprinkles came back, as we got farther into the ride, the harder the rain came down. The ride was stopped and everyone polled to continue or end the ride. Three people went to the completion of the ride. We raise a small amount and look forward to doing this again next year.

The Vermont Thunder Run day started out with sprinkles on the southern end, riders came in saying it was raining on the northern end, and we were determining whether to put on rain gear, or ride in leathers. As we started the ride, it started raining and I was not in rain gear, I did have my leathers on and was somewhat protected. The further we got into the ride, we found sunny weather and I became over dressed for the ride (however, what I was wearing dried quickly).

Memorial Day parade was memorial, We started out on the chilly side and I was dressed for the weather. We lined up in front of the parade and took our tour around the oval first and then became the end of the parade line. ( you must know it is an oval ) We then took the final turn around at a higher rate of speed, inluding and going beyound the posted speed limit giving the attendees and police a moment to pause.

All rides were enjoyed by myself and just a note on summer riding!
