HATS will be celebrating Oktoberfest in Brenham with a ride from the Moormans house around the beautiful area midway between Houston and Austin.  See the October newsletter for directions.  After the ride we'll feast on BBQ and Severe beer...and hopefully Janet's Carrot Cake.  

And for those of you that might not ride with the Mahoney's often, or those of you that are new to the HATS and don't know the Mahoney's - our Top Hats from about '98 to '08, we have a medical update on Mike.  Ah, yes...surely you have enjoyed their hospitality at Riverhaven for the Chili Ride or the summer ride.  Mike was injured in a waterskiing accident, doing serious damage to his right foot.  He had surgery done on Friday, Oct. 15 to pin his foot bones together to assist in a correct healing.  The prognosis is that though he must give up his dreams of dancing in the Bolsoi, he will ride again shortly after new years.
