Favorite Ride - With a good friend who happens to be one of the original Chapter members, through the S.W. regions of Washington. Had a wonderful time and the views of pastures, fields, rivers, mountains were spectacular. This guy must know every back road in the State like the back of his hand. Didn't accrue that many miles, but we were gone for 8 great hours that day.

Worst Ride - Being such a novice - not much to report here, except the Group Ride on 4-10-10 when Charlie and I went down on the back side of Rimrock. Thanfully nothing major happened and no injuries. Mostly pride was hurt that day, Thank Goodness. The wonderful, caring group we were with was more than helpful and cordial. Thanks to everyone who left the original route and followed us back to Naches to Ace Hardware where Charlie purchased a simple bolt to secure my footboard back together and get us on to Yakima for the meal at Backwoods. Many kudos to my dear Ruth, who took me on her trike back to Naches where I tried to step off the passenger seat, and fell flat on my back!!! Ruth so very lightheartedly said "boy, just isn't your day - is it"? Getting up off the asphalt, I relplied "Nope - I guess not!"

We have truly appreciated all the friendships and welcoming from the entire Yakima HOG Chapter. We have made some great new friends, and always look forward to seeing you!! Thank You from the bottom of our hearts!!

Motto or Advice - Always behave and converse as though your nemises is constantly over your shoulder!
