June 18, 2012 - RIDE TO WORK DAY has been moved to the third Monday in June. So Ride To Work!!!
June 20 – 23, 2012 – 12th Annual Gathering of High Performance Sidecars in the Blue Ridge Mountains (Maggie Valley) of North Carolina. Most are staying at Applecover Inn and RV Park 4077 Soco Road, Maggie Valley, NC 28751. For more information, go to http://www.hpsidecar.com/ or contact Roger Symington Sidebike99@aol.com
June 22 – 24, 2012 – 3x3x3 Gathering - This is a gathering of Ural owners for the most part, although other makes are welcome to join us. Please keep in mind that we have been known to do a lot of riding on gravel/dirt roads. Ok who is ready to ride down Blackjack Road? Who is brave enough to ride the Fenelon Place Elevator? You will get your chance if you join Nancy and I. We will be staying at the Super 8 motel in Dubuque (1-563-582-8898) for the weekend. During the day we will be riding through the valleys and over the bluffs of the Upper Mississippi River Valley. During the evenings we have been known to sit out in the parking lot (bring your own lawn chair) kicking tires, telling lies and having a drink (adult beverage or not). All ages welcome as well as all riders, just be aware that this is based off the love of the Ural motorcycle. Some of the roads might be gravel or mud but not all. You might also want to bring along a pair of pants one size larger then you wear now, as there is plenty of good eating in this area.
One day we will ride a loop down through Galena, IL and on to Sabula, IA before working our way back to Dubuque for the evening. Another day we might head north out of Dubuque before ending up in either Wisconsin or Minnesota. On Sunday we will just ride around the local Dubuque area as time allows, before people have to start heading home. As many of you know the 3x3x3 stands for 3 States, 3 Wheels, 3 days.
If anybody has any questions about the ride contact Lee or Nancy Pape at: sidecarring@gmail.com
