Well it is finally riding season here, the club has already had a couple rides with about 20 Triumphs showing up for the events. Our next ride is to Logan Ia. for supper and the monthly meeting. If you are looking for something to do the 1st or 3rd Thursdays of the month these are alot of fun and we work to accommodate all styles of riders. Generally the group is broke into a sporty bunch and a leisurely bunch, with everyone arriving at the same destination.

Your pack should think about going to Bike Night at Bronson, IA. Bike night is every Thursday night from May 3rd to October 4th.

They average about 300 bikes per night but very few Triumphs. Other than myself there may be two other Triumph riders. It would be great to have a Rat Pack show up.

Well our ride was rained out! BUT our meeting was still held as scheduled. Pretty short and informal as the turn out was poor. We did however unveil our NEW photo contest. With a winning price of a new set of tires, this is going to be a hell of a fun contest. All you have to do is take pictures of your bikes with the dealer towels and our chosen courthouse in them. Good luck to all the participants, and since it runs all summer there is still plenty of time to sign up. With over a hundred courthouses on the contest sheets covering several midwest states the compation is going to be tight.
If you are in our vacinity you should sign up and give the contest a try, what do you have to lose, but some quality time riding your Triumph and taking some pictures. CHeers
