Hi CIRR Members,

Our Club meeting is this Saturday, August 9th.  We are meeting at 8 am, Ironton Legion, 232 4th Street.  We are starting early, since we are attending the “Riding with Rory Suicide Awareness/Prevention ride” in Emily as our Club Ride.  (They do a dart toss like our Brandon Ride.)  The meeting will be shortened to get us all up to Emily in time.

Note: Please don’t park trucks and trailers in front of the Legion or the Mac Daddy’s Donut Shop.

Agenda will be provided at the meeting. Please note there is an Enduro Motorcycle Event next weekend at the Stompin Grounds, therefore the East side of the highway of the Akeley Trails will be closed.  The Akeley area will be busy, the trails on the West side of the highway will be open, you are welcome to go there, but the Club decided to attend the “Riding with Rory Suicide Awareness/Prevention Ride”.  Any questions on the ride change, you can contact Andy.

Our next Club ride will be at Nemadji on July 12th at 10 am. There will be no Club meeting this month. A group of members will be boondock camping at Nemadji.

We will go on the same route as last year. Please click on the ride command route, for the Nemadji Trails https://bnc.lt/RFZm/i71EnUydNUb Before Saturday preload your map or Ride Command, because cell service is not great at Nemadji. We will be using “CIRR Shirt” as our group ride on Ride Command. Dan will lead the ride.
Dan called the North Pine Saloon in Kerrick and they are happy to accommodate us.
