Ride Report (10)

Here are 3 photos from our Shamrock Lunch Ride last year.

At the Antietam National Battlefield, you can easy imagine one of the bloodiest Civil War battles taking place as the Blue and the Grey advanced and retreated among the hills, valleys, dales, and rivers. The back country roads of Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland make this a magnificent ride because of changing scenery alternating between farm and ranch land, the horse country, and the scenic riverside along the Shenandoah River. This is a special ride enjoyed by all. Start early in the morning.

On 2 June 2007, GWRRA Virginia Chapter Y folks supported the Leesburg VA Police Poker Run for Special Olympics. This was an all-day ride with stops for each card draw. The end of ride statistics were impressive. Enjoy these photos from Forrest Sisson.

The Polar Bear Eats
By Rick Baker

Happy New Year, One and All! On New Years Day, seven CH Y folk rode and drove to the Town N’ Country Restaurant north of Warrenton to join CH F for their Annual Polar Bear Brunch Ride. Riders and Co-riders from Chapters A and I helped bring in the New Year too. Soon, cold Wingers filled the entire backroom. And, in yet, another back room, a cruiser club packed in tightly for breakfast. Meanwhile, in the restaurant’s main dining room, the “usuals” regained their balance on the New Year. Soon, the ever-able staff of waitresses filled cups with hot coffee and the cooks wildly flipped pancakes and eggs! As we left, we could tell the waitresses earned their tips the first day of the year. Those on bikes had a smashingly good time in the wind and chill of the afternoon's ride home. The three of us CH Y folks, who rode together in a car, stayed warm and comfortable, even ordering “ice water” with our breakfast and coffee. Our appreciation to CH F for pulling this ride together!
