The New Year is off to a great start, there were some great
rides in January. You can see pictures of the rides and gatherings we had by visiting

MONTHLY MEETING INFO: The next monthly meeting is on Saturday Feb 16, 2008. The
meeting is always held the third Saturday of the month. The time is always at 1:00pm
and the location is always at the Side Track Bar and Grill on Washington Road in
Martinez.
We want to make sure all members know, it does not take a Road Captain
to lead a ride. Anyone can coordinate and lead a ride as long as you do it safely.
We encourage everyone to lead a ride to there favorite place. It might be a great
place you know about and want to share with everyone or even a great restaurant
you would like to eat at(which by the way can be located in or around the Augusta
area), feel free to talk with anyone of the officers for group riding and safety
tips. We also encourage members to provide ride/location suggestions. If there is
a particular place you would like visit and don't feel comfortable leading the ride,
let us know, we will see if one of the officers is willing to coordinate the ride
for you.
NOTE: If you no longer wish to receive this email please let me know and

UPCOMING RIDES: The World Traveler ride(s) is a program
sponsored by US Rider News Magazine. I was hoping to get this information out before
the first ride started to give everyone a chance to try to make it to at least 6
of the rides to meet the program qualifications but Kenny got the jump on me before
I could send this out. The first part of the ride was started this weekend on Saturday
Feb 9th. The went to Egypt and Denmark, Georgia. Since these two locations are fairly
close to the Augusta area I am sure there will be another ride to these two locations
for those that missed today's ride. We will be going through Egypt, GA on our Savannah
day ride on February 23. We will stop to take the picture required during that ride.
You can get more information on The World Traveler program at this web site -

Over the next 6 to 8 months the Road Captains will coordinate rides to different
cities that have names of countries. Once an individual visited at least 6 locations,
took a picture of themselves with the sign of that town and holding a US Rider News
publication, you mail your application along with your pictures to US Rider News
and they will provide you with a World Traveler patch. Here were some suggested
cities to visit in Georgia - Athens, Augusta Bethlehem, Budapest, Buena Vista, Egypt,
Denmark, Berlin, Scotland, Cairo, Dublin, Geneva, Lebanon, Rhine, Rome, and Milan
pretty cool huh. There will be more info to follow. Hopefully I will be able to
get the info out before the ride actually happens.
