Another month has come and gone! Here we are in May, so it is time to remind you, before you show up for a ride please remember to call the HOG line to ensure that the ride is still on. We will at some point begin to get rain and when and if riding safely is a concern, the road captains may and will cancel rides due to weather. April was amazing with a record number of rides and great turn out for all of them! Our picnic was hosted by Ladies of Harley, Thank you Rosie and Nick Galluzzi, Donna Watson and all the ladies that helped put the picnic on! And Charlie Burton, Deb and helpers the food was delicious as always! Thank you. I do believe that our picnics get better every year! The May Calendar is also jammed packed with several new places to visit. There is one all day Mystery Ride which I am sure will be magnificent, Len Widman knows how to find great places! May 20 th is going to be another fun night! Movie night in Grant. We will be selling tickets at the May meeting. There will be a ride from the shop to my house where you will be treated to pork bbq sandwiches, chips and sodas/water, (if you want anything else to drink feel free to bring it along) We will eat at approx.. 7pm, light the fire pit at dark and show the movie outside under the stars beginning at about 8:15pm. At Dark! There will be a charge of $5.00 per person that will be donated to Promise. I decided to raise your investment, we sold tickets for $1.00 for the picnic and many did not show. In May we have Rolling Thunder, 9/11 Escort Ride in addition to many other great rides! Remember, we are an organization that runs completely on volunteers if you have a talent or wish to become more involved, please see a board member. We need YOU to help! If you are not receiving the e-blast and would like to get it please email the same director@spacecoast-hog.com so we can get you added to the blast! Again, remember to stop in Space Coast Harley Davidson and say hey to the staff, they are always supportive of our events and group. We are blessed to have their support! Ride Often, Ride Safe and Keep Smiling! Georgia Nelson
