Dinner Ride Gar Wooly's August 2010
Davenport, OK

Hi All, 
    Well, Becky and I took the sissy way out to go on this dinner ride. Decided to go in a box, more comfortable, but not nearly as much fun.
    We had 17 people in attendance. A total of five bikes, one trike, and four boxes. I'm sure the bikes had a hot ride.
    A good restaurant if you have not been here, a bit of a drive for us anyway, but worth it. Good food and service. It seems we had a birthday girl in attendance, actually birthday was day before, hmmmm!!! wonder who that was? Someone just turned the BIG 50!!! Well, it's all downhill from here on out.
    You missed a great evening of good food, friends, and fellowship if you missed this one.

Hi All,

   This day was considerably cooler than the day before, dropped all the way down to 79 degrees on the way up there.  I and another chapter member opted not to leave from Shawnee Honda, mainly because it was out of our way.  We took Hwy. 66 all the way to Claremore, with the exception of a short distance going through Tulsa.  Had some wonderful directions from Frank at Chapter "P" the day before, many thanks to him.
   The theme for this anniversary was Mexican Fiesta.  They had 155 people (according to announcement), 152 according to roster, either way had a lot of people there.  There were 9 people from our chapter, well 11 if you count Lloyd & Eileen, guess we will share them with chapter "S".  It was good to see Robin, District Director, there.
   Had lots of Mexican food, you could make your own burritos and/or tacos, enchiladas, fixins for all these, chips, salsa, etc.  Again, we had the ever popular dessert table.  Don't know that I have been to a GW event that didn't have desserts.
   They played some games, "Minute to Win It", pretty sure they had people trying to break open a Pinata.  One thing that was really great about this event is that it was inside an air conditioned building, a welcome treat after the day before.
   All in all, had a great time with great friends and great food.  The ride home was a little warmer than the ride up there, even had a little bit of rain as we left Claremore.  It was still a pleasant ride home, nothing like the day before.  Pictures will be posted shortly.

Hi All,

Well, three words can describe this event, HOT! HOT! HOT!  You know what I am talking about if you were there.  There were 127 people there, 18 from our chapter, or at least that is the best I counted.  I know what you are thinking "Why does he have so much counting people" well, just don't make it a priority I guess, or at least that is my story and I'm sticking to it.

We still had a good time in spite of the heat.  There were some games played.  One in particular, I am at a loss of words for what to call it, it involved shaving cream and corn chips (photos online).  Next game was a water balloon toss, not sure if it was better to be the winner or loser, I am thinking on this day the water would feel pretty good.  Next game was the watermelon seed spitting contest.

The menu consisted of burgers and hot dogs and all the fixins, many salads and various other items.  Also, the ever popular dessert table, wonder why that is so popular with GW members, hmmm!!!  Then the ever popular watermelon feed.

We also had 50-50, contingency prizes.  We all had a good time, good food and fellowship, and the ever wonderfully HOT!!! ride home, well with the exception of those in a box.
