Greetings from Dan & Nancy,
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I’m sure we all enjoyed our Christmas
dinner last month. We had great weather for the Christmas parade. We had 6 bikes/trikes ride in it. It was in
the 60’s during the parade and we all went to Fiesta Mexicana restaurant after the parade for dinner. We are
looking forward to another great year and can’t wait to get our Wing back on the road when weather permits.
For me that is above freezing and for Nancy, that is a little too cold.
This month we continue with our New England trip and are traveling from South Burlington Vermont to
Gorham New Hampshire.
We woke up to rain early in the morning so did not leave until after 9am. The roads were wet when we
started but soon dried out and we rode in the sun to our next destination which was Gorham New Hampshire
just north of Mt. Washington. The sun was bright and we decided to go around south of Mt. Washington and
come back north through the mountains which was a beautiful ride until about the last 10 miles where we got
in to a heavy rain all the way to the motel. This time we were soaked but not nearly as bad as when we were
coming back from Spring Fling in 2013. We checked in and the motel had a restaurant on premise so we
decided to eat there and their special was Prime Rib which was some of the best I have had in a while. We had
reservations for 2 nights so the next morning we headed out for more sightseeing and wanted to ride up to
Mt. Washington but they would not let motorcycles on the road because of the wind at the top so we took a
tour van up and was really glad we did not ride up because as we neared the top fog and drizzle rolled in and
the temp was 37 with 60 mph winds. Mount Washington has the worst weather on earth. The record wind
gust was recorded in 1934 as 231 mph. On the way down we got back into the sun and stooped and took some
pictures of a double rainbow and were looking down on it. Our guide said this was the best rainbow he had
seen while coming down the mountain. We headed back to the motel but stopped a little mom and pop Italian
deli and restaurant and had some of the best pizza we have had in a long time.

There was no official gathering in December instead 31 members, 10 guests
enjoyed a magnificent dinner where the meat was prepared by Dan & Nancy

food.

I hope everybody had a great and safe holiday
season and I know I did. I have been looking ahead to
this coming year and what a busy time it is going to be.
I have been in contact with Gary Ballou from B3 and
they are planning on having a couple of seminars in
the next couple of months within the rider education
program. They are also having a couple of blitz's in the
next couple of months with seminars from all three
divisions. I will be writing about them in my district
newsletter. Here are the rider education seminars for
B3 on January 3 is Helmet myths, March 7 is riding
with new/inexperience riders, and April 11 is a safety
Saturday with Going, Going, Gone. The two in January
and March is right after their gathering in Obetz. I was
planning on putting on the co-rider seminar at our
gathering but there is only one member that needs it
in 2015. I still might put it on but depends on what
rider education seminar are at Cabin Fever.
What can we as riders or co-riders do to educate us better in the coming year. The first thing is to
take a rider course if we haven't in the past couple of
years. The levels program require the member to take
a rider course every three years. I am going to try and
take a course every two years just to keep my skills
fresh. I always improve my rider skills after taking a
riding course. GWRRA has the dates and places where
they are but won't put the list out till sometime in January if not early February. The member can also take a
rider education seminar that they haven't taken before. I am still learning and taking different seminars
throughout the year so I can keep up on the latest so I
can pass the information on to the members. I will or
have sent out emails to members that are in the level
program and have expiring rider course in 2015. I will
be collecting the money for the medic first aid class
any time before the end of Cabin Fever so that I can
get the money to the district. The amount is $25 and
is made out to GWRRA of Ohio not to the chapter.
Thanks and have a safe month.
