Hopefully you didn't miss Slaugherhouse over labor day, it was awesome.

Are you on CHIscooterList at yahoogroups.com? that's a good place to talk up a ride, and once you get the details, be sure to post it to the CHIscooterEvents yahoogroup.

Scooterworks has another ride on Oct. 11th, IIRC, and we'll do the cold weather challenge ride around thanksgiving, and the Hells Fairies have a ride planned in a few weeks, i think. There are always a few last-minute rides as everyone realizes that it's getting cold. But if you want to plan one, please do!

Actually, just realized this is in Gen. Discussion, I'm going to bump it to "Rallies, Events, Meetups" and leave a link here so you can find it.

Thanks!

Here's a ride on Saturday:

Rob Schwartz here. We met at the Labor Day parade. I have the blue Cushman Eagle. It seems that your club is very active. The photo scavenger hunt looked pretty cool. Below is an email that I sent to all of the Matadores regarding a ride that I am putting together. Please feel free to pass it along to The Magnificent Seven.

Have a great one,

Rob

Saturday Sep 26th I am proposing a ride to Lake Geneva
for lunch. We will be taking county roads as much as possible. Meet at Common Grounds at 9:30am. We will be leaving at 10:00am. It is
approx 50 miles and should take 1-1/2 hours or so each way. The
slowest bike in the group will ride right behind me and will set the
pace for the whole group. Find your spot in line and stick to it.
I'll also be looking for a thumbs up from the last bike in line at each
turn. Anyone with a fast bike who just wants to blat down Hwy 50 at
45+ miles per hour is free to meet us at the restaurant for lunch at noon. This ride is designed for all the slow bikes in the group. So far Medusa's has been mentioned. Any other ideas? I will send this out again Wednesday night with the name of the chosen restaurant. I have attached the route to this email. I have ridden the route and saw no cars once I was west of the interstate so don't let the speed limits scare you.
