Sioux Falls H.O.G Update 9/4
Good afternoon everyone!
We are a weekend into the September riding challenge, I turned my beginning miles in on Friday. If you have not turned yours in yet, there is a sign up sheet on the front desk to take care of it.
This is a pretty busy week, we have Happy Hour on Tuesday and the final bike night is on Friday. The sportster will be given away on Friday. Be sure to stop by the HOG table or the Riding academy table and say Hi!
Now that we are getting down to the last 10 dinner rides for the year, I wanted to remind everyone of a couple of things when attending these rides.
Safety is our top priority, so stay as close as a group. When the Road Captain of the ride can’t see all of the people we automatically assume the worst. Try to maintain a 3 second gap.
If possible, avoid busy streets. Take an extra few minutes to take a 2 lane highway around a town to avoid traffic.
The sun is starting to set sooner and many don’t like riding in the dark so keep the ride to the destination a little shorter to allow for slow service.
Here is more detail on everything happening this week:
