Donna and I were able to make it to the Western Iowa Cycle Riders Dinner on Saturday night. They had 85 people show up for this dinner, man what a crowd. We were welcomed with open arms and it was a good time. The kicker to the deal was that our dinner and membership were paid for. Didn't cost us a dime except for gas to get there and back. They had extra money in their treasury and decided to pay the money back to their members by paying for their dinners and giving new members their membership for free this year. Not sure if they will do this all year or if this was a one time event. It was a nice surprise. Kind of a nice thing about this group is that they are not affiliated with a national organization. They are solely their own entity and that allows them some freedom.
The place they had the meeting was called Cronk's in Denison. Very, very nice place and I'd recommend it if you are in the area for any reason. They had a wonderful buffet with two different kinds of carved meat plus all kinds of other stuff and a salad bar with lots of stuff on it as well. All the food was homemade. Very good quality and taste of everything I had.
They hold 5 poker runs a year. One each month from June to October. 5 different towns will be the start off point for the poker runs. Some are not too far from here. I wholeheartedly recommend going to any of these if you can. They put on some good rides and they always provide a great meal. Cost of the poker run is only $10, well worth the money.
They have some prizes to give away if you make all the poker runs. You can also do the tour they have set up which consists of traveling to certain spots and taking your picture at that spot. They change the tour every year and have had some very interesting tours. You can get prizes for doing this as well.
If you have a chance , I suggest you hook up with this group and have a good time with them. I don't believe you'll be disappointed.
