UPCOMING EVENTS:   Sunday, December 6th is the annual Christmas party! This year we will be at Rex’s Innkeeper in Waunakee. Social hour starting at 4:30, dinner at 5:30. Please RSVP ASAP so I can give them an accurate head count.

From the Directors:Hello Chapter H members and friends!

      GWRRA’s policy for gatherings is to follow local guidelines. Please only participate in activities and functions if you feel safe doing so!

      University classes have stopped for the rest of the year, and are expected to resume in January. Stay tuned for details on class offerings as they become available. Feel free to visit the universities webpage for more information at www.gwrradot.com.   These classes are FREE, and some of them are required for the Levels program.

     We are thinking it’s time to do a zoom check in in addition to our next month’s social.  It will be just a nice chance for those we have not seen to be able to reconnect.  We haven’t set a date and time yet so please watch for info in an upcoming email, and on the Chapter H Facebook page.  We also are looking for any input or ideas anyone may have for ways to keep connected during this extended pandemic.  We can schedule zoom meets more frequently if everyone is interested, and we can come up with activities to do while on the meet as well.  We are open to your ideas, so please share them!  We are hoping everyone is staying busy, active, and enjoying the end of our summer.  The fall colors were such a welcomed beauty this year – it seems like it has been a really long time since we had such a colorful tapestry!   I know we sure enjoyed plenty of apples and apple treats this fall – never too many in my opinion!!

..  Stay safe! Bruce & Tina Gebhard

   A different group formed up for the ride back that had 3 bikes with 5 people. All wore safety gear and rode about 60 miles. The picnic was awesome, with 79 people attending, including people from Iowa, Illinois. and we look forward to next years event.

    September 3^rd was our bi-weekly evening ride. We had 6 bikes with 11 people, all wearing safety gear. We left from Kwik Trip on Mineral Point rd. heading west thru Pine Bluff. We made a partial loop to the north, going thru some great country back roads and ended in Sauk City at Culvers. Total mileage was just under 100 miles.  

    September 17^th Thursday night Chapter H GWRRA motorcycle ride with 3 bikes and 4 riders about 65 miles Temperature was 65 when we started and 55 when we were done: scenic ride through Sauk County, Iowa County & Dane County. This was our last “scheduled” evening ride for the season.

   September 26^th was our chapter ride to Gays Mills for a visit to Sunrise Apple orchard. It included 5 bikes and 1 car for a total of 11 people. Safety gear was worn by all riders. The trip there was a scenic route down Hwy 60 to “B” thru Plain, Sextonville, and Richland center. The return trip went thru Muscoda with a lunch stop at Honkers. Everybody had a great time. The mileage for this trip was about 195 miles.

From the Directors:

Hello Chapter H members and friends!

    GWRRA’s policy for gatherings is to follow local guidelines. Please only participate in activities and functions if you feel safe doing so!

    We hope this finds everyone staying healthy and getting in as much riding as possible.  It is hard to believe we are entering October already.  For a year that involved a lot of “nothing happening”, it sure went by quickly!  This past month has been a whirlwind in our house, between house projects and a wedding.  We did still find some time to ride.  One of us even found time to get her motorcycle license! 

    With this time of year, we find some of the most beautiful scenery to ride in.  Find ways to take advantage of these opportunities before we have to put our bikes away for the winter.  If you have an idea for an impromptu ride don’t hesitate to get ahold of us, or put it out on Facebook!

    We also need to be mindful of the other things Fall brings to riding…leaves on the roadway, cooler temps, possible frost, and very active animals!  Make sure you are prepared to ride when you do get on your bike, and remain alert – not only to your surroundings but your environment (changing weather/temps). 

        University classes continue to be offered via zoom calls. There are some excellent classes being given, and we would encourage you to take advantage of this great opportunity!  Visit www.gwrradot.com to see all the classes being offered. Typically, they conduct one class in the afternoon, and repeat it in the evening.  These classes are FREE!

    We look forward to seeing those of you that are joining us at the Snow Bird dinner, and/or the next Social!

Stay safe!

Bruce & Tina Gebhard
