A Perfect Ride!!!

The First Annual Triangle Bikers Reunion Ride was a huge success!! I hope everyone made it home safely since everybody went their own way in Wake Forest. Thanks again to Lisa for putting this site together. And a huge, huge, huge, thanks to the Blue Knights that helped us out today.

I’m proud to announce that we had 40 bikes and 50 people on our maiden ride! Pics will be coming soon (sorry Lisa, you’ve got a lot of work ahead of you, now) and maybe a video or two.

A total of $180 was donated to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and so our first donation will be an even $200. Thanks again for helping us support such a great cause.

Send in your responses and let everyone know what you thought about the ride. I know some improvements could be made, but this was really typical. Especially the part where a few in the middle pulled off to go a different direction and so the rest of the group followed them. That kind of thing happens all the time when rides are ending, so don’t get discouraged about that. One of those “Ride Your Ride” things.

Thanks again, Jim

Reunion Ride day change!

OKAY, no need to wait any longer. Saturday is a wash out, but Sunday looks great, so Sunday it is. We’re still leaving from Shelton’s at 10:00am. The route is as follows: Muldee street, right on Cheek Rd., fork left on Stool Tree (which becomes Munns Rd.) up to Hwy 15. We’ll stop to make sure we’re all still together on the far side of Oxford, then continue all the way to Clarksville. We are eating at the Lamplighter Restaurant which is on the right just before you cross the bridge.

Axel sent me this link to Google Maps of the route. I think it’s pretty close to what Jim plans on riding. If you are not sure where Shelton’s is, click this link to get directions to Shelton’s from Google Maps.

Reunion Ride!

For the moment, the reunion ride is scheduled for this Saturday, October 25. We plan to leave Shelton’s by about 10:00am so be gassed up when you get there. The weather is questionable so I’ll let everyone know on Friday if it is changed to the rain date of Sunday 10/26 or if we have to cancel it.

Please feel free to bring as many friends as you’d like. We are riding about 54 miles to the LampLighter Restaurant in Clarksville, VA on Kerr Lake. I rode the route last week and it should be a beautiful trip.

Check back for an update! Ride safe and keep it shiny side up!
