Due to the Memorial Day weekend there will not be a ride this Saturday but Cajun will lead a ride on Saturday, May 31st.  Watch for details on the website.  He will leave from Elgin and come by Eason Memorial Baptist Church in Eastover around lunch time for a Fish Fry and Bake Sale and then continue from there on the ride.  If you can’t make the ride but want to come to the Fish Fry and Bake Sale on the 31st, the church is located at 201 Vanboklen St. which is off of highway 601.  Directions will be added to the website before the ride.

Several people went to Myrtle Beach bike week and had a good time, it started off slow but had a huge crowd. 

The Leather booth at the Barnyard Flea market will have a pig pickin’ this Sunday from 11:00 – 2:00.  If you have purchased from him there is no charge, if you have not purchased from him then there is a small fee.

Johnny Frick will lead the June ride and the first one is scheduled for June 7th.  Watch for details.

Vanessa Jones, daughter of Shirlene and Bruce will be leaving for California to go to school.  We wish her the very best of luck and expect to see her at the Christmas Party in December.  She has been a faithful member and we will really miss her while she is away.
