Sept/Oct 2012 Newsletter

  •  

    Well summer has officially come to a close as far as the calendar is concerned, but for most there is still some riding left and for many the riding goes all year. We here at CycleFish had a GREAT summer with plenty of riding. Two of our favorite events were the Redwood Run where we had probably 30-40 CycleFish members camping with us and another 30 or so members who camped elsewhere stopped by to say hi. We also had a great time at the Too Broke for Sturgis Run put on by ABATE of Arizona. We especially want to thank HillbillyAlan and his group for their generous hospitality at the rally.
    As we roll in to this fall season there are still plenty to do with over 500 rides listed in the CycleFish Event Calendar. Many of the rides coming up in the next few months are Toy Runs and Fundraisers to help those who are a little less fortunate enjoy the holiday season, and hopefully many of us will make it out to these events and do whatever we can to help out! We have also started updating the CycleFish Event Calendar for 2013. We have most of the 2013 major rallies and events listed to help you plan your long trips for next year as early as possible. If you have or know of an event coming up that we don't have in our calendar, be sure to get it listed as soon as possible. The CycleFish Event Calendar gets over 1,000,000 views every month!

    CycleFish Meet & Greets

    CycleFish Meet & Greets are a great way to get to meet with other CycleFish members in your area. Currently we have just one Meet & Greet planned...
     
    The Love Ride - Oct 21 - For those in Southern California we invite you to ride to the Love Ride with us. So far we have one meeting point planned for those in Orange County and further South. We will meet at Cook's Corner at 5:30am so we can make it to Glendale H-D in time for the opening ceremonies and morning concert. We are working on other meeting places to ride in as a group from Riverside and L.A. Counties. Keep checking the Love Ride Event Listing for more details.
    Remember you don't need to wait for us to set up a CycleFish Meet & Greet. If you would like to set one up in your area, simply go to our Meet & Greet Forum and post where and when. There are no set guidelines for the Meet & Greets... They can be a get together at an organized rally, a weekend of camping or a simple day ride or get together at the local hangout.
