This month Jo receives her 2 year pin Congratulations Jo!

We have a new look to our front

page Newsletter! Cheryl is doing

such a great job that we decided to

give her a little more space to bring

us the minutes. You will now see all

of our minutes from the past month

on page two under Birthday’s and

new Member’s.

Last month we had our Ride Leader

meeting and scheduled some great

rides for us up until the first week of

January. I sent out our new ride

schedule a few weeks ago so if any-

one has not received one please let

me know so I can email it out to you

right away.

/ By Rick

In 3 weeks, Friday November 10th

our San Simeon over night trip will

be here. Hopefully everyone who is

going has made their reservations

for the hotel and has bought their

tickets to the Hurst Castle. If not

please get a hold of Jodi ASAP so you

won’t miss out on this exciting trip.

RayJ has a great ride agenda for us

when we go. This is going to be an

incredible trip.

We are still deciding on where to

have our Christmas Party since we

didn’t make our guest count to have

it at the Best Western in Simi. We

still have a few good idea’s so stay

tuned as we are working hard to find

a great venue. Any suggestions are

all welcome and will be looked at.

If anyone has idea’s for new things

or things you would like to see in

our Newsletter please let Jodi or I

know. We want this to be the most

interesting and informative News-

letter for any club out there.

Jodi and I have decided to wait and not fill the

Safety Officer position as of right now. We think

we will give it some time to work itself out for

now and see how things go.

I do want to acknowledge all of our Officers do a

fantastic job and Jodi and I appreciate all the hard

work they do for our Club and that IRUSA would

not run as smoothly as it does without them!

Thank You to all of our Officer!!

Birthdays

You have all heard that Tom was going to resign

from his position of Safety Officer at the end of

the year. Unfortunately Tom has decided to

leave us sooner, so as of this month he is no

longer with IRUSA.

He has told me that his leaving IRUSA has noth-

ing to do with our club but he just does not want

to be affiliated with any ridding groups any

more. We want to wish Tom all the best in his

adventures in life and we will miss him. Ride safe

Tom and hopefully we’ll see you on the road.

Trivia & Fun Facts

Our first ride went to Santa Carita to a

delicious Restaurant called Rattlers BBQ.

We were suppose to go to the Bear Pit

but honestly I couldn’t really plan a good

ride to this restaurant from their loca-

tion, so I knew a much better place so I

went with it and it turned out better

than I expected where most of our

group had never been there before and

they just loved it! We’ll be going back

there real soon.

Our second ride led by our Group Leader,

Dave went to Kennedy Meadows. This ride is

one of my favorite rides taking the back roads

through the mountains to Kernville. What a

beautiful ride. This ride is not for beginners

due to the length and difficulty of the route.

Once we rode into town we had lunch at

Ewing’s over looking the Kern river on their

patio. What a day!!

Remember, Ride Hard but safe!

Which team has yet to send a player to the

Hall Of Fame?

1) TX Rangers 2) KC Royals 3) LA Angels of Anaheim

It’s always nice

to win a few

bucks to pay for

lunch, $47 to be

exact!

Congratulations

Steve! Winner of

the IRUSA gas card!

Show up, get a tick-

et and fill your

tank.

Approximately 70 baseballs are used during

a typical game!

Last Month’s Rides IRUSA’s Picnic - Last month was our

annual picnic (no ride) at a new location.

We were getting tons of comments on

how great the new location was. What a

great time. With our water balloon toss,

our infamous slow race and great BBQ

food (thanks to our chef Kevin and his

assistant Dawn) and tasty desserts this

is one of our best events of the year

where everyone comes together and has

a great time!

Today RayJ (Joe Ray) will be leading us to

the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley

where they are having an exhibit of

some cool stuff from the Titanic!

Before our ride ends at the Ronald

Reagan Library we will be stopping to

have lunch at a fun restaurant called “The

Junkyard” great food and it’s always fun

to see all the stuff they hang on the walls.

So get ready for a fun day and as always

with great people. Ride Safe!
