Tuesday night ride to The Carver under cloudy skies

Tuesday, July 15 2014

Yippee for getting a group ride in despite the threatening weather west of the Sault tonight.

EchoBay and MrsEchoBay got a chance to use their Frogg Toggs coming to the ride from Echo Bay but fortunately the ride to Pancake was dry all the way.  

There were five bikes out tonight EchoBay, MrsEchoBay, Wolverine, and a friend of his, Andy riding a CB500 and getting an introductory ride with the group, Drifter with his demo bike a VTX Honda 1300 and me, Needles.  We also had a tag along support car carrying DD and our grandchild who is 5. A biker in the making, she asked EchoBay if she could become a member.

The weather was cool with blustery winds but after not having group rides due to the rain lately I am sure everyone enjoyed getting out. Once at the Canadian Carver, some of us had to get ice cream and while some just stayed warm. After some good chat and fun conversations, we decided it was looking close to raining again so we left the Carver and returned. The group reached SSM around 9 pm while I turned off at Goulais.

Thanks to all who came out. It was truly a family ride tonight for us with granddaughter in tow. Just goes to show, we truly are a family motorcycle club, accepting all ages. 

It was another ride which may not have been the best weather but in the depth of the coming winter I am sure it will be remembered as better than anything we will see in the winter in SSM. LOL

It was a good safe ride and the highway was not congested.

Let us hope for good riding weather next Sunday as we're planing to do the Tunnel of Trees in Michigan.
