Looking down the wrong end of the telescope

I was asked to do a ride review for the Chili Ride.  I guess I've done them since the first Chili Ride.  This year, due to my slight disability, I arrived to eat and visit as everyone was rolling in from their rides.  I spent the whole afternoon sitting in a nice chair doing guest interviews.  Tandemists are some of the sweetest people on earth and I enjoyed their kind attention.  Thanks, guys.  If we find a vehicle for a ride review, I'll do a write up.  As my stoker said when I complained that I had no knowledge of the ride or the food, having carefully worked my walker past the food, along the deck, without getting a wheel caught, "When have you let facts get in the way of a good ride review?"  

We are without a Top Hats couple.  No one to do a newsletter or sub it out.  I feel like we are looking down the wrong end of a telescope.  The future of the club doesn't look good like that.  

We will have a Valentines Day Ride.  I guess there will be a notice sent out with the particulars.  As soon as I know the day, time and location, I'll post it under events.  

Folks...we need a lead couple.  The work you do is entirely dependent on how you delegate.  The rest of the steering committee is still in place.  You just need to find a newsletter writer if you don't want to do it.

January, 23, 2011, The Chili Ride

Not that I'd know, but the day seemed perfect for a bike ride.  The food, I'm told, was plentiful and I'll vouch that some of it was delicious.  The group was sympathetic and interested.

March 13, 1999 St. Patrick's Day Parade

A small contingency of intrepid HATS members joined the strip joints, bars, eateries of Richmond Street and others in the frigid cold to celebrate St. Paddy's day.  Things to note:  our clothing (it was bitterly cold!), how small Amanda was, the "clown bikes" (sorry, Hanz...they didn't believe they were Real bikes) and the Out of Towner HATS.
