Sioux Falls HOG Update 4/14/21

Good Afternoon everyone! 

Sorry this is a day later than usual, it got cold out and I was pretty upset that I couldn’t go for a ride so I decided to send it on a Tuesday this week. I also wanted to add a few more things to the email. This weekend kicks off our season of Dinner Rides. I will try to include where we are headed and who is leading each dinner ride with the email. Some of the locations have not been decided yet, if you are able to attend and would like to go to a certain place just email me back and I will let the road captain for that ride know.

Here is the list of things coming up this week: 

• Glacial Lakes HOG Hangout
