Drifters Newsletter March 2017
It’s March already! Lets get on with riding!
It’s going to be an exciting 2017 for the Drifters! We’ve already had a few get togethers and rides (when the weather has cooperated). The Executive Committee has finalized some dinners, a picnic, a 4th of July party, and weekly ride events for the upcoming months. We are still considering additional activities, so please submit your ideas to any of us on the Committee. We will be having our next Committee meeting March 9th, so be sure to get your suggestions to us by that date. Committee Members are: Bonnie, Dawn D., Pam, Lynne, Margrete, & Barbara.
Please welcome some new members that have recently joined us – Jim & Dawn Frick and Dave & Suzanne Liggett. All are recent arrivals to St George, and are looking forward to more of our Drifter Activities. They had a great time at our last dinner in February at ‘Bout Time Pub and Grub. It’s nice to have new folks joining us!
Things coming up:
Friday March 17 – Saint Patty’s Day Ride to Overton, NV for lunch at The Inside Scoop. Meet up at 12:00 noon at the Chevron Station, Exit 4, Brigham Rd roundabout. The ride is about 90 minutes each way and the food and ice cream at Inside Scoop is great.
April 26 – Apil 28 – Laughlin River Run Rally & ride to Kingman, AZ – Don’t forget to make your reservation if you are going to join us on the Laughlin, NV-Kingman AZ trip. Rooms are filling up fast. RSVP to Vern if you are planning to go. Vern is at 435-590-5311. The hotels suggested are in the events section of this website.
Standing rides each week:
Every Friday at 9:30 am, meet at The Golden Corral for breakfast, then a ride if the weather is good. Some Drifters meet for breakfast even on bad weather days, so come one come all!
Every Saturday at 11:30 am, meet at Zion Harley Davidson. Harley offers a bbq burger & dog lunch for 5 bucks. After eating, Drifters might do an impromptu ride – destination depending on weather, and whoever wants to lead to the location of their choice. Again, everyone & every bike is welcome!
Every Wednesday at noon, some Drifters had attended a ride held out of Dixie Center, but found out this ride was by invitation only….So Drifters will now meet for their own ride on Wednesdays at 11:30 am. For the time being, we will meet at the Chevron, Exit 4, Brigham Rd roundabout in Bloomington. Ride destination to be decided among attendees. As the weather warms, the meeting place will be moved further north and meet times will begin earlier to avoid the heat of the day! All meet-up locations and start times will be posted in a timely manner on the events section of this website, so be watching and be sure to come out and join when you can. It is our intention to include everyone in the club, so as the weather warms, we will meet in such places as Coral Canyon, Hurricane, Beryl or Cedar City. Again, everyone and every bike/vehicle is welcome! See you there!
