Chapter Chapter Ride - 50/50 Rule The 50/50 Rule is very basic: if the outside temperature is below 50 degrees; or we have a forecast of precipitation of 50% or more then the ride is cancelled. This will allow everyone to know that status before departing for the ride. However, don’t let this stop you from riding if you so desire.

It was a get to know everyone better, since we were elbow to elbow. But everyone managed the crowding. Quite a few rode in spite of the weather. This tells me everyone is ready to start riding again Thanks to those who participated and received awards for the Chapter Challenge. A very special thank you to all who volunteered last year! We could not do it without you. Our officers are planning short rides, dinner rides, day rides and multiple day, destination rides. We are working out details for a ride to Milwaukee, for Harley-Davidson’s Celebrate Women Riders in May. There will be a touring ride in August, somewhere other than Marble Falls. All of our rides need Road Captains to lead, to ride in the middle and to bring up the rear. Being a Road Captain isn’t hard, so give it a try this year. We will have training in March so plan on being there. If any one has any ideas, suggestions, comments, or criticisms, get them to any of the officers.
