Stinky
Guess what?  Randy...our new Vice President... was late to his first meeting as VP....and that's not all, usually he sells me off like a hot potato but today the hot chick on the back of his bike said I get to ride with them!  Woo Hoo!

Today’s Ride
Randy Sawn is leading us on the 6 1/2 Airports ride, ending at the Perris Airport for lunch.   Keep the group tight, avoid the "slinky" effect, staggered formation, watch for the winds.

Safety Officer
There are no common denominators in bikes except that they have two wheels (mostly). It is not unusual to spend hundreds of dollars on accessories and "Bling" yet few are willing to spend money on a safe riding skills course!

We will be scheduling another "Parking Lot Practice"  and hope everyone will participate.
