High Beemers,
I hope you had a Merry Christmas and are having a happy holiday season with your families and friends. For the first time since 2021 we had a white Christmas and as I write this it is pretty chilly outside... not ideal riding weather. We will see how many of our members are hardy enough to ride to Mimi's tomorrow vs taking their cages. The temperature forecast is high 30s to low 40s so it will be cold. If you do venture out on your bike, make sure to wear your heated gear and check your bike's tire pressure.
Club Rides & Events
During Q4 of 2025 we held our scheduled monthly rides and events, which were the Monday breakfast rides; the Wednesday lunch rides; the final Saturday preplanned ride and final Sunday improvised ride in October only. Ride reports for all are on the website in the "Forums" section.
During Q1 of 2026 we plan to hold our Monday breakfast rides and our Wednesday lunch rides. The Saturday preplanned rides and Sunday improvised rides will start up again in April. Tomorrow, on January 1 we will have our annual New Year's Day Brunch & Ride at Mimi's - this year's event will include a toy drive to benefit Spread the Word Nevada. So please consider bringing an unwrapped toy or two for this worthy local charity. We will also hold our annual dinner on Wednesday, January 14 at the Tamarack Casino Banquet Room. All of these planned rides and events are on the website in the "Events Calendar" section.
2025 Ride Contest - On and On and On
The ride contest is now complete. There were 27 members who participated; we will have the drawings for the contest winners at the annual dinner in two weeks. If you have any questions, and to submit your final paperwork and photos, please contact Jim Edwards.

If you have not signed up for the annual dinner yet, there is still time to do it. Just go to the website, find the calendar event and follow the instructions. And if you want to participate in the raffle, please do that as well. You don't need to attend the annual dinner to participate in the raffle; go to the website and navigate to "Raffle Tickets" in the left column and follow the instructions.
I look forward to seeing you at Mimi's tomorrow morning and at the Tamarack Casino on January 14th.
