Sunday April 18th 2021 - Loyalsock ALR Bike Blessing
We were invited by the Loyalsock ALR to take part in their annual Bike Blessing.
With riders from Loyalsock, Millville and Troy we had the opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new ones.
After the bike blessing, conducted by Pastor Ron Dyer, we took a scenic ride to Grotto Pizza at Harvey’s Lake for a relaxing lunch. Though
the temperature was cool, only in the mid 50’s, everyone seemed to enjoy the ride and the camaraderie between the three ALR chapters was amazing.
We are looking forward to taking part again next year.
We would like to thank the Loyalsock ALR for inviting us to take part in their annual Bike Blessing once again.
Sunday April 25th 2021 - Troy Maple Festival Car & Bike Show
Despite the gloomy morning mother nature decided to cooperate this year and give us a beautiful, albeit chilly, day to ride. We took an approximately 120 mile scenic ride through Bradford, Lycoming and Tioga counties before arriving at the Troy Fairgrounds for the 2021 Maple Festival Car & Bike Show. With temperatures on in the mid 50's we made stops in Salladasburg and Wellsboro so that riders and passengers alike had the opportunity to take a break and relax before continuing the ride. All in all everyone seemed to enjoy the day despite the cooler temperatures.
Sunday May 16th - 4th Annual Rainbow Riders Benefit Ride
Despite the overcast and cool start to the morning we had a nice turnout, 30+ bikes and nearly 50 participants,
for the 4th Annual Rainbow Riders Benefit Ride. We took a leisurely 125 mile guided ride through Bradford, Lycoming and Tioga counties before arriving at
the Rainbow Riders Facility in Troy where a wonderful hot lunch was waiting for us.
We would like to that everyone that came out to support such a great cause. With riders from AMVETS Post 187 in Towanda, ALR Post 996 in Dushore, ALR Post 49
in Troy and the many others that rode with us it was tremendous show of regional support.
A special thank you goes out to the staff at Rainbow Riders for the buffet lunch that awaited us upon arriving at the Rainbow Riders facility,
it was excellent as always. Thank you to Keith and Jeni Putnam for providing a chase vehicle and trailer, it’s a good feeling to know that if someone has a
bike issue we will make sure that they get back to Troy safely.
