January 05, 2008 Mystery Ride
We had fourteen bikes, twenty-two people show up at McDonald’s for the first
ride of the New Year.
Gary’s brother in-law, Steve, joined us. We think he was a little sore by the
time we reached our destination at 1:00pm. Steve,
we hope you will come out again and we promise a short ride next time. Brenda & Al were there until after lunch. Brenda had convinced Al that she would have him home to watch the games. We sure hope it was a good game Al because we missed you.
Dwayne & Margie were out on their first ride this season and we had to remind
him that in order to be in contact as the tail gunner you need to plug in your headset !!!
Gary was anxious to get home, as he had work that Jerri needed to be done. So, he and Steve set out for home after lunch.
This was really a leapfrog ride, as we could not find the Honda dealer in Leesburg,
so we took turns leading. We have never done so many U turns and even then we had no idea
where we were. No one knew that Champions Honda had moved. If they did, they did not
remember. (Hmm, it seems that nobody checked out the last page of the newsletter-the
editor). I did hear Leroy say the first time
we went through Leesburg that he saw the Honda shop but we ignored him (seems he was
right). Lucy is back
working at Champion Honda. She is the lady who was in a bad car accident a few years ago.
It was good seeing that she came through all her serious injuries. She would like us to
come back again soon. Evona was
pleased with Pete’s new helmet, but she really wanted hot chocolate (you had to be
there). Richard understood and just listened to her conversation. Bobby & Cliff looked
over all the goodies on the wall, but decided that they had purchased enough at the last
rally. Sue & Paul were instrumental in finding the second group when they got lost. Art must
wonder if all our rides are this confusing, but I think he will be there for our next
ride. Now you
wonder where we went on this mystery ride- it was to Mascot, to the Rainbow Restaurant.
Then we were off to Mount Dora, then to Champion Honda in Leesburg and from there to Dade
City for dinner. Twelve hours and 300 miles and we were back home. Not bad for the first ride of the New Year ! Jack &
Janet led us home, as we were all bushed. We still had seven bikes at 9:00pm. This report may seem a little mixed up,
but it is nothing compared to the ride we had today. We had a ball and can’t wait for
the next ride. Only Chapter M has rides like this!!!!
