Suggested Rides

Lisa Hawkins relayed a few suggestions from Brad, who could not attend: Seven Springs Rib Cook-off near the end of July and Thunder in the Valley, Thursday, June 22, 2023 (All day) to Sunday, June 25, 2023 (All day). I am checking for more information on the Rib cook-off, and as soon as I have more details, I will forward them to everyone.

Rose suggested a trip to Washington, DC. (WWII memorial, Smithsonian, Museums.etc.)

Valerie suggested a summer trip to New River Gorge with a possible boat ride.

Bill and Rose mentioned going to the Pittsburgh Strip for a day of shopping and eating! This would be a short ride.

Lisa said she’d like to go to The Palace of Gold. Rose said the best time for that would be the beginning of June due to the flowers blooming.

Cathy mentioned that there would be a two-hour parade in Grafton, WV, on Monday, May 29th

Dave suggested taking a train ride. Prices and information can be found here: https://wvstateparks.com/things-to-do/scenic-train-rides/

Bill and Tracy are interested in the Triple Nickle ride, which will probably be an overnight event.

The 2023 State Rally will be June 8-11th.  The location will most likely be Fairmont, WV. I’ll post more details as we get them.

None

Getting rides on the calendar and the Rally was the main focus of our meeting.

Our next meeting will be held in Clarksburg on March 25th. John will let everyone know as soon as he has found a meeting place.
