Dear Son Chasers and Guests:
What a great turnout….and a brilliant day to ride!!! We had
four new members: Rhoda and Sam Greene, Hiram Hayes and David Gilvin.
Plus, we had a quest, Sylvia Kennedy, who came with Dave Rossiter.
Welcome ladies and guys. You joined right in and made the fellowship
so much the richer. We had six couples today which if not our high
may have tied for our high couple count. That’s with regulars Ronna
Kyle and Jackie Wassom unable to ride today. Hope you ladies can
join us next month for the Lewis Farm ride near Franklin, Ga. Even
if you cannot ride on a motorcycle, I know some ladies want to go in
a car because the Lewis Farm experience is so much fun. As we get
closer to the September date (21st) we’ll put out a call
for those that may want to follow in a “cage”.
Jack Bayer was planning on coming today but a thunderstorm was
raging when he needed to leave from Duluth. He emailed me later and
asked if we got wet. Well, not from rain, but I can’t say our shirts
were dry when we finally stopped for lunch. Let’s just say that the
air conditioning at the Country Store really felt good! We had some
interesting trivia conversation at lunch. Senoia (Seh-noy, if you’re
a local) was named after Chief William McIntosh’s Creek Indian
mother according to the most accepted source. The Harley’s out
numbered the other makes. That may be a Son Chaser first. We had two
bonafide scooters in the pack today and they kept pace once I
realized I should give Sam room enough to air it out on the downhill
slopes! This was another Son Chaser first. What a great email handle
for a guy that rides a beauty of a Harley Fatboy: “HIRAMHOG”. You’ve
got to love it.
Well, thanks folks for riding with us today and thank you God for giving
us this fun time together. Until next time, Ride Safely and Follow
the Son. Alan

Dear Son Chasers and Guests:
It was another warm but fun day to be out for a ride in the country
and a friendly meal at the Redneck Gourmet in Senoia, Georgia. By
the way do you know for whom Senoia was named? I’ll give you the
answer at our next ride.
We had three new members, Ralph Trapaga from PTC and Cheryl and Paul
Silfee from Winston, Georgia (that’s just a few miles north of
Fairplay in case you were wondering). We also had some out of state
guests, Jeff and Carol from Van Wert (I think), Ohio.
While they could not make the ride, Ronna Kyle and Sarah and Lori
Strandburg joined us for lunch at the Redneck. Welcome all; you
helped make our fellowship that much more enjoyable.
The afternoon showers just missed us (our helmets got rained
on or in, in some cases, while we were in the restaurant) unless
they caught Dave and Jeff or Jack Bayer on their return trips home.
So it was another very enjoyable ride. BTW Jack, if past experience
is any indication, I should recover from the chili, slaw dog by
tomorrow afternoon. Our next ride takes us south again to Roosevelt
and Sprewell Bluff State Parks with lunch at the Calloway Country
Store. Until then, ride safely and follow the Son.

Dear
Son Chasers:
You sure looked good in your new Son Chaser shirts…..even if they
were a little spotted with sweat, uh, excuse me, perspiration.
(Sorry, ladies) Yeah, it was a bit warm yesterday, but the
“fashionable dozen” had a good ride and a good time of fellowship.
Dave Kyle has about a dozen pics that he’ll post on our website, so
check it out. We had one new member, Dave Rossiter, a 42 year riding
veteran. Plus, we had a new visitor, Maria Hopkins, a guest of Mark
Weiss. Welcome Dave and Maria!
Maria actually has roots in Juliette so we had our own historian to
help fill in the blanks of our Juliette/Whistle Stop Café history
trivia discussions. The rain held off until we all returned home but
this is one time when a light shower would have been a relief in the
92-94 heat on our return leg. We’re thankful for another safe, fun
filled ride and look forward to next month (17th) when we
travel the “Concord Loop” and fellowship at the Redneck Gourmet.
Invite a friend. Until then, ride safely and follow the Son.

Dear Son Chasers and Guests:
Remember this Sunday, May 2, is “Ride Your
Bike to Church Day” at First Baptist Church, Peachtree City.
There will be designated parking so we can park together. I just
took a look at the weather forecast and it looks like we may get a
break in the rain. It now looks like it will rain on Saturday and
Monday but, hopefully, not Sunday. So I’ll look for you on Sunday
and remember we will do the South Fulton Loop ride on Saturday the 8th.
Remember to Ride Safely and Follow the Son.

Dear Son Chasers and Guests:
Just a reminder, this Sunday, April 11, we’ll
have our first official “Ride Your Bike to Church Day”. We’ll
have a designated parking area reserved up front near the church
sign and flagpole. It looks like the weather should be good so join
us at FBC. See you at church. Alan
