need more meet & eats

[Sleeperhawk]

Anyone interested in an M&E in Northeast Wyoming/Western South Dakota area? We live between Sundance & Moorcroft, WY, about 3 miles north of I-90 and 18 miles south of Devil's Tower.

 

Boy, would I like to make that M&E, but already have a 2 week bike ride planned for Sept/Oct time.

Here is a little Venturerider history on what we now call meet and eats.

Joe MacDonald posted the first one as "Just Lunch" when his brother was coming up to visit him, on his bike. Joe picked a resturant and a time they would be there for every one to meet him. And that turned into a "meet and eat".

We try to hold one once a month, depending on what we have going on. It don't have any rules, and it don't have to be all weekend. A meet and eat only needs 2 things....food and someone to meet with. It gives the chance to get to know others in the club. Not always do you need to go for a ride, because sometimes the sitting around and BSing is much more fun!!

The next thing is....Don't get discouraged. We had one meet and eat where there were only 4 of us, and then we had some with 20 plus bikes. Not everyone can make them all. You will be surprised how many new people show up each time.

My last tip is to try not to structure the thing. Don't let time limits stop you. Just let it take control of the day. If majority wants to go for a ride than so be it. If not, I'm sure you all will have a good time. And once you have been to one, they are addicting!!

"Post it, and they will come"

Have fun, and be safe!

Thanks Lonna - that sure helps a lot. I was under the impression they were a lot of work, prep etc - but your suggestions sound great - just pick a date, time and place and go from there!!
