Actually have had a couple of good weekends. Last weekend, the 19th, was our club's annual chapter fundraiser, Pass The Pigs. We held it later this year than normal due to conflicts with another local chapter's event. I guess in all it turned out quite well as we had one of the best turnouts we've had with I think it was over 170 bikes. This year we rode it as Darlene has been involved with it every year in the past and it was time for a change. We had had a week or more of rain leading up to it, so when the weekend hit and it was sunny, the bikes came out! It was a good ride in local FM roads, pleasant and stress free, unlike a recent run we were on that had too many miles on interstates and state highways around the metroplex. The one downer was that our chosen lunch spot, Lucy's on the Square, was in receivership, not sure the reason but it had recently been featured in Texas Monthly as one of the top 40 small town cafes and we have eaten there a time or two. We always have bike games after the run and they are always good for a couple of pictures...
Speaking about that other chapters event.... We do have bit of a friendly rivalry. We had a challenge, the other chapter was supposed to double our turnout to their event. We we had well over 40 bikes, I think we actually had 41 arrive in unison with some other members showing up on their own. Needless to say we won the chapter challenge. For our event, that same chapter shows up with around 23 registered riders, a far cry from double our showing. Maybe 1 over double, wait, that's 1/2...
