The club is picking up the tab at this week’s Sweet Roll ride. All riders will be treated to a free Cinnamon roll just for coming along for the ride! The ride takes off at its usual time (8a.m.), at its usual location (West Ottawa High School, South Athletic Building, meet by the tennis courts). Will we see you there? Bring your sweet tooth!

Due to lack of interest, we are discontinuing the Thursday Night Ride. Thanks to the participants and ride leaders for their efforts in getting this ride established. In the end, we did not have enough participants to keep it going. We hope to start some new rides again next season. If you have any ideas for a new ride, pass it along. Until then, enjoy one of our current rides including the Monday Night Ride and the Sweet Roll. See you on the road or trails.

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to thank any and every club member that helped us achieve the biggest and best Holland 100 ever! The weather co-operated, the new venue was awesome (thank you Herman Miller!), the JDRF connection was a real asset and the 1250-1300 riders was our biggest ride to date. At the start/finish all day I got approximately 98% positive if not glowing commments and lots of “see you next year” and the like.

Great coverage in yesterday’s Holland Sentinel too!

So - if you had anything to do w/ putting on the ride…………..thank you! (If not - you’re up next year!)

Watch for a final re-cap on the club’s website as soon as the HH Commiittee can get together to go over the numbers and de-brief. Right this second we’re still basking in the glory of being done for 2009 and tryin’ to recover!

Ride on!

Mike Clark, Prez
