5/21

Friday Pavilion BBQ at the Elks: Every Friday from 5pm - 8pm Red Hook - Rhinebeck Elks Lodge hosts a BBQ. This is open to all and a great destination if you're out riding. We have food (I try to vary the menu, usually dogs and burgers, salads and something like pork chops, or chilli, or roast beef), and beer for $8. If you just want to eat it's $5. We have volleyball and horse shoes and tunes on the boombox. Bring your favorite CD!

Things of Note: Beginning Sunday, 5/26 the Lantern Restaurant in Ashley Falls MA will have a free pig roast every other Sunday for the summer. This is a great time (see the picture above) - be there by 1pm if you want to eat. Also beginning 5/26 The Yacht Club in Tannersville, NY begins their free Sunday BBQ. This is every Sunday. I haven't been yet but I've heard that it's good and that they have london broil and saussage and peppers in addition to hot dogs and burgers.

First Ride of 2002! March 9th!! It was a great day for riding. The Temperature hit 70. Six of us did about 150 miles that day. From The Elks Lodge in Red Hook we went south to Pleasant Valley (The Roadhouse: pic 1 pic 2 ) and then east into Connecticut as far as Torrington (Dawn's: pic_1). From there we went north to Cannan Ct. (The Lantern) and back west on Route 44 through Lakeville, Pine Plains, and finally Red Hook.
It was a bittersweet day for us because one of our last stops was at the wake for good friend Dan Savery who died before his time on the New York State Thruway earlier in the week. After the wake we adjorned to the Elks Lodge to hoist a few in Dan's memory. pic_1  pic 2  pic 3
