Chapter D September 2011
Hi Wingers,
Can you believe that it’s September already? After July’s heat, I’m looking forward to some cooler weather. There are a few more “special” days this month. Early in the month, we have a three-day holiday weekend, Labor Day. On the 11th, remember to fly “Old Glory” on Patriot Day and Grandparent’s Day. We can also recognize the coming of autumn on September 23.
Where did the summer go? Chapter D celebrated their “Friends and Family” social on August 5. I’ll tell you more about what went on in next month’s article. Chapter D also held several evening rides on scenic roads to enjoy good companionship, good scenery, and even good food. I want to personally thank those who stepped forward to lead those rides.
With autumn’s approach, we need to be more watchful than ever for those love-making deer, which sometimes put their lives in our paths as they seek out their love interests. Watch out also for nuts, acorns, and gravel on roadways at this time of year.
Next month, October, we’ll want to congratulate Chapter H for their 30th Anniversary as a GWRRA Wisconsin chapter. Since Chapter D was an “offspring” of Chapter H, we want to recognize the leadership of the chapter who kept it all “on track” over the years. We can only hope that our own, younger, Chapter D, can withstand the test of time to grow and last as long.
In October, our social will on the seventh at the Local Pointe Restaurant about five miles north of the Dells on Highways 12 and 16. As usual the starting time is at 7:00 p.m.
Until we get together personally, (soon I hope) ride safe and we’ll see you “down the road.”

Now that the fall riding season is upon us, there are many forms of harvesting going on. When taking those color rides on the rustic back roads, be sure to be alert for the farm machinery using the roads too. These are slow-moving and big, sometimes taking up the entire road surface, so they cannot always be passed easily. Trucks and combines also enter and leave the roadway from hidden driveways/roadways. Remember, also, that our four-legged forest friends are often roaming the roads too, so beware. Pay attention to weather conditions as they can change fast. What started out as a warm sunny day in the morning can switch rather quickly to a wet, cold, not-so-nice day to ride. And lastly, please, always remember— A.T.G.A.T.T. — wear ALL the gear, ALL the time.
Ride Safe!

Hi All,
On Sunday, August 28th, I will be riding with Chapter E to Rockton for Chicken. Since they are coming from Portage, we will be leaving Portage at 10 am and then going straight to the Dells and Hwy 12/13 Shell to pickup anyone that wants to ride with us (approximately 10:20). That stop will be a short 2 minutes and then ride to Rockton. I also have a ride planned for those that want to continue riding the day away…NO Packers game…why not join us?
Chapter H is also suppose to be having a ride to Rockton on Sunday as well.
