Ahh, fall… time to go check out the scenery and get those last few mountain rides in for the year. We all know that the snow will soon be falling (ok, so it already has), and the sand will get thrown thus rendering the mountain roads we all love a bit too hazardous for most of us to venture out on.

With this in mind, let’s get some riding in before it’s too late!

September’s happenings:

• 9/06 - Monthly Meeting - Fay Meyers
• 9/14 - MotoGP Party - details to follow
• 9/27 - Fall colors ride to Aspen

Also, in lieu of an October meeting, we will once again be heading up to RMCS for the fall BBQ with the CMA. Plan accordingly, this is a great event.

After an extremely busy June and July, it’s looking like August is shaping up to be a bit easy on the schedule.

The next monthly meeting is Saturday, August 2nd at Fay’s… scroll down for the map. As always, lunch and ride to follow.

We’d like to take a moment and thank the organizers of Heavenfest, as well as Chad for all of his work, for having us at this event. It was a great day and we’re truly looking forward to being there next year.

Now that the 2008 Rocky Mountain Rally is in the books, keep an eye on the site for rally photos. A great time was had by all, and I think I speak for everyone in expressing my gratitude to Carl for an incredible study in apologetics. If we can pry them from his hands, we’ll post his notes to the site for everyone who would like them.

Now on to July!

1. 7/12 - Due to the holiday, the monthly meeting is being bumped to July 12th at Fay Meyers. As always, lunch and ride to follow… weather permitting. It’s Colorado, the weather always permits!
2. 7/19 - The “Fallen to Freedom” ride is on 7/19. Great Ride, Great Cause.
3. 7/20 - Mark your calendars for the MotoGP BBQ. This year, the BBQ is being held at James’ house. Check the events calendar for details.
4. 7/20 - Praise in the Park will be in Ft. Collins. Praise in the Park is FREE to go to and to have CSBA represented. Please contact Eric (BigE on the forums) for details.

As we head full speed into the holiday weekend, please be careful. As motorcyclists, we have enough to worry about on a normal day, but be extra cautious as our fellow Americans celebrate their independence by consuming vast amounts of alcohol then getting behind the wheel.

Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect me. Psalm 40:11

Just a couple of quick notes for May going into June…

• Just a quick reminder about our spring trip to the Mountain States Children’s Home this coming Saturday. Were meeting at the RTD Park-n-Ride at 10AM, 120th and I-25 the then a quick ride to MSCH. If for some reason you miss us, take a look at the map If you’ve never joined us before, you wont want to miss it. The kids love to see the sportbikes!! We do participate in bike games with the kids, but don’t feel obligated to ride. If your not comfortable with a passenger, that’s OK. Just come and fellowship. The folks at Mountain States do some great things with these kids. Lets show our support for this ministry. Let me know if you have any Q’s. Look forward to seeing you there. The weather looks to be great for Saturday.
• I’m hoping everyone got a note from Eric regarding the Praise in the Park events for June and July. We have talked about getting involved for a few years now, I really think this is something we need to do for 08. It sounds like a great opportunity for us to get acquainted with several thousand of our northern brethren and maybe reach some of the sportbike guys and gals up north. Plus it should be a good time for us to get our families together. We need to get some folks committed to work one or all 3 events so if your interseted, let us know.
