CATCHING UP

 Since it's been a while for our regular Wednesday night rides, (actually Richard was the only one to go last Wednesday), I thought I needed to catch up on a few items.

First of all, here's a couple more photos from the very successful Hospice Ride last Sunday.

ROGER TOOK THIS ONE AS WE LEFT WIN-MED PARKING

I have been diligently working on the details of our Summer Trip.  As most of you know, it was formerly called the "Guys Trip", but now it's open to everyone, depending on whom you want to share a motel room with!  It will go from July 28 to August 2nd.  Anyway, our trip will be down "memory lane" aka HWY 30, aka the Lincoln Highway in Iowa and Nebraska.  We will weave "in and out" of some of the towns along the way and observe some of the historical items such as old restored gas statiions, restaurants, motels, brick streets, monuments, route markers etc.  We will try to follow the original route as long as it is paved.

There are also some scheduled stops that we will try to make, depending on time and weather.
