Pete, are you still planning on attending?

[pd]

I'd really like to , Rick .

So far , we're playing it by ear .
Our trip north has already been delayed by close to 3 weeks and still not set in stone .
No sense in heading north if there's no place to park for the summer or unable to visit with anyone .
We're tentatively planning on heading north in about 2 weeks , if things stay as they currently are .

Anyway , I'm hoping it all works to that end .

Pete .

Latest update :

"A Meet update from Club Secretary Debbie Jackson:

After much deliberation, and at the recommendation of the Health Department, the 2020 meet has been cancelled!"

Sad to say , just when things were working out so I could be there .

There is a meet in Hartville, Ohio on september 10-12.  I've never been to this, but Tom has.  I'm thinking we should try to make it to this meet this year in lieu of Portland. 

What say you?

I am joining the Outlaws!

If you aren’t aware, there is a group on Facebook, something like “Outlaw Portland vintage bike picnic” that is trying to get people to go to Portland anyway.  The fairgrounds says we are welcome to come, they will be open.  This is not VMBC sectioned, but as I understand it there are over 200 people on the Facebook site  that say they are attendeing.  I know Tom says he is going, and I am 90% sure I’m going.  If you are thinking about attending, let’s hear it.

The numbers are growing.  Jim Lokai is planning on being there.  Plus he has told several others.  The members count on the Outlaw page is rising too.  And there are more!  I will see you on the Hill!

[Ricks]

I’m about 90% sure I will be going.  Who else on here is considering it? Bob, are you and Mike thinking about coming?

Don't know yet. I'm remodeling the house and Janet is supposed tentatively to have hip surgery sometime in July. Not sure if I can get away. Would really like to come see everyone. If not there's always next year. Bob
