Show N Go Thank You

Hope everyone that was able to participate in the Show N Go rides this last season had a good time. We had a diverse variety of rides and when group size permitted broke up into a couple of different paced groups. If you have any comments or ideas for next year let me know. A big THANK YOU to the impromptu ride leaders that stepped up and helped keep the groups together and those that dropped off the back to help someone back in. Sometimes I asked someone to be a leader but often times a rider would just take it upon themselves to make it happen.

If you missed the SnG this year Saturday’s official touring ride ought to be cold enough for you to think it was a winter ride.

Well hopefully the snow is finally over with only a couple of weekends of Show n Go rides left. Be sure to grab a friend or two and join us for some spring miles with an extra ride at a special time on Good Friday

Friday 3/29 Flaugh Rd. (Good Friday start TIME FFCU 12:45am, Flaugh 1:00, Arcola 1:15pm)
Saturday 3/30 Homestead HS at noon
Sunday 3/31 Flaugh Rd. (FFCU 11:45am, Flaugh 12:00, Arcola 12:15pm)
Saturday 4/6 Homestead HS at noon
Sunday 4/7 3RVS Touring Ride Season starts

Once again, special start time on Good Friday, one hour later than usual. Park at the far back if driving as the Credit Union will be open.

Saturday 3/9 Flaugh Rd. (see website - FFCU 11:45am, Flaugh 12:00, Arcola 12:15pm)

Saturday is looking good. I have had my scouts out in the country and the asphalt is warm and toasty. Think Spring Break in Fort Wayne  slather on your sunscreen and join us for a bike ride. In the tradition of Spring Break be sure to grab a handful of dollar bills because rumor has it my bike will finish the ride at Deer Park Tavern for a beer and to check out the hotties in the bar.

Sunday 3/10 Homestead HS

Sunday could be wet. Watch the radar and Facebook as the ride may be moved up a couple of hours to avoid the rain. Don't forget to spring forward your clock for DST.

Please note that future notifications will be posted on the 3RVS Facebook page.

Show N Go - the sun will be shining so come out and join us. Bonus ride on Fatty Friday in case you ate to much Thanksgiving dinner. Throw a couple extra bucks and your hunting license in your bag for Saturday and we may go beer hunting at Deer Park Tavern after the ride on Saturday. Be sure to bring a friend.

Friday 11/23 Homestead HS @ noon

Saturday 11/24 Flaugh Rd. (see website - FFCU 11:45am, Flaugh 12:00, Arcola 12:15pm)

Sunday 11/25 Homestead HS @ noon

Rides leave on time! Don't be late.

Be thankful we don't have flying skwerls in the area.

I read someplace on the internet that some of them can ride bikes and of course we all know they can water ski.

Well I had such a great ride in May so it is time for yet another Magical Mystery Tour (MMT).

Saturday, June 23rd @ 9:00am
Carroll HS
Our tour desitination will be the Country Heritage Winery & Vineyard.
http://www.countryheritagewinery.com/

This Laotto Winery opens at 11:00am on Saturday and offers wine tasting and also sells wine by the glass (bring cash and your ID). The plan is to leave Carroll HS and ride for a couple of hours, arriving at the winery when they open for some relaxation and recovery. Then a mellow ten mile ride back to Carroll HS. If you have a non-riding spouse or partner they could join us at the winery and meet the people you hang out with every weekend.

Plan on a 40-50 mile ride, however if some of the Bee's group choose to join us a shorter route could be arranged for a second riding group.

You can ask participants from MMT#1 or read about what to expect here:

... "I'd like to say 'thank you' on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition!" ...

Great group of riders and a great ride for the first Magical Mystery Tour! Exactly what I envisioned for the Magical Mystery Tours. We all stayed together for the entire ride. Saw some new faces. A short break at the midway point in the park at Cecil, OH. Root Beer floats on the return trip through Antwerp. A reminder of why we all had the day off as we visited the impressive and moving Veterans Memorial in Antwerp.

Hope everyone enjoyed the ride as much as I did. See you on a MMT next month.

Our Touring Director, Steve Pequignot, has test rode the old and slightly improved Bend Route. He reports excellent roads. I have scouted out a couple of stops along the way. Mileage will be 55-60 miles depending on what detours we decide to take and which turns we might miss. Bring your big bottles with plenty of water.
