KEEWENAW Ride Cancelled.

The night before last I spoke with Katie Fettig, ride secretary for the Keweenaw Ride, and she told me that due to some extenuating circumstances, the ride will not be held this year, but they do plan to hold it again next year.  They apologize for the inconvenience this causes.  Please spread the word well, so that no one wastes a trip up there (though there is no such thing as a wasted trip up there as the country there is worth the trip anyway!).

I'll also put in a plug for their annual Steak Ride, which WILL be held the following weekend (Sep. 17-19).  This is their primary fundraiser (primarily to put on the distance ride), and is a wonderful fun weekend with good food, pleasure trail riding, and visiting.  Please contact her (Katie) for more info on that.  They do need to know of your attendance ahead of time so that they can be sure to have enough steaks and other food.  We've attended several of these, and they are a LOT of fun.  Katie can be reached at kdrn98@aol.com or phone 920.497.3062.

Sincerely,
Bruce Birr
