ARE YOU MISSING OUT?


Last month, we rode to Bikes, Blues, and BBQ in Fayetteville. Had the Ladies of Harley meeting at Bob and Jane Ballard's most interesting home with Bob's famous burgers. Rode on the Monett Toy Run. Rode on a train from Carona Depot to the pumpkin patch. For a special treat, Jean Davidson, granddaugher of founder Walter Davidson, spoke at our October meeting.


Don't miss out on the fun rides we go on. We have very organized, safe riding, with the best group of biker's who have grown to be best friends. Don't forget, you get Cycle Connection Loyalty Points for events and meetings which can mount up rapidly if you come to the events and meetings.
