Anyone for Blue Grass?

The June ride to Blue Grass, VA was terrific.  Over 300 miles each day and a wonderful group of motorcyclists to commiserate with at the event.   Local riders from Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware enjoyed a delicious hot dog dinner while Trooper Stump and the Uphill Ride played some foot-tapping bluegrass music. Harvey Reid later performed in the barn, enticing us with his folk and blues ballads from Maine to Appalachia.  This was the first time I witnessed the autoharp played live.  He also played the electric guitar and electric banjo. Dianne Garrett, our own WOW local member, joined me for the campout and we truly had fun.  Please join us next year!

Becca Lichtenstein Assistant Chapter Director

Biking with Becca

Welcome to a new chapter in the Capitol Cruisers history!  With Donna on her way to Athens, GA, I am going to try my best to follow in the footsteps she created so well.

The most important task, of course, is to continue carrying out the WOW mission to promote a positive image of women motorcyclists.  Right behind that is to continue with our chapter's additional goals like the community outreach programs, the learn to lead program, and keeping our members as actively involved as they have been during Donna's term as director.

While I am a little overwhelmed by the fact that things happened much sooner than expected, I know I have some excellent support from the other officers and members that have stepped up to help out.  I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities for more members to step up and I encourage everyone to jump right in.

I can only hope that I can do half as good of a job as Donna in making things grow as much as she did in the past year and a half.  I will need everyone's support to do it.

I think we can all agree that the most important aspect of this club is to have fun with our motorcycles.  Our chapter's success allows this sentiment to stay strong.
