On Tuesday February 26th we met at Holy Smokin’ Butts for our monthly dinner ride.  What a great turnout we had.  Those who were in attendance were:  Ont VIII Members Jim P. and Ann T., & Kay and Derek C.  Also Gary A, Stan T, Frank B, Jim K, Bruce and Bonnie D, Mike and Nita Schultz, Chuck F, Alan S and Susan W, along with our very own Bill (Rev) C.

Everyone RAVED about how great the food was.  The wait staff, Danielle was just as good.  Bill C talked with the manager before leaving and said they had a great time.  The manage said to come back anytime and we could even have Danielle again as out waitress.

On Saturday January 11th we had our FIRST BK breakfast ride of the New Year.  While it was a blustery 40 degrees when I left my house some people had upper 20’s and came in cages.  Our first breakfast for 2020 was held at Trident Grill II on Swan where they serve breakfast on Saturday’s and Sunday’s.  I must say everyone was pleased with their food.  Those who made the chilly ride were: Alan S & Susan W., Mike & Nita S., Gary A., Ken & Felicia H., Robi & Bear C., Frank B., Dennis M., and yours truly.  Here are a few pics of the attendees.
