Each meeting is followed by a club ride if the weather cooperates. Our meetings are generally attended by 15 - 25 members and feature coffee and doughnuts. We try to keep meetings brief, then go riding.  Each month we select a location to ride to for lunch and for a bit of story swapping and good old fashion relation.
