Monthly Message for July 2011

Hi Folks,
 
This is a very long message, please read to the very end.
 
July weather has proved great for motorcycle riding, if one doesn’t mind triple digit heat indexes.
 
On the 2nd, the owners group started out with a ride to Bixby.  There was a brief pre-ride briefing describing our destination and the chosen route.  We left the starting point at 9AM with a total of 9 motorcycles.  Vito led the ride and kept a spirited pace.  The group split into 2 groups- fast and very fast.  At our turn to Potosi off of MO21, we lost 2 riders.  One headed back; the other met us in Bixby.  We returned from Bixby after eating.  All riders returned in one piece.

A Note from Pete at Moto Europa

Friends of Moto Europa,

We have two fun motorcycle events coming up in July that I would like to invite you to.

First, on Sunday July 3, we will have our second annual Moto Europa picnic and motorcycle riding day at my lodge outside of Hermann, MO. We will have several demo bikes to take out on the roads around the area as well as off road bikes and ATV’s to take on the 8 miles of trails at my lodge. Bring your family, we will have food, drink, and for those who stay late, fireworks. There is also fishing and hiking if you like that sort of thing.

Secondly, on Sunday, July 31, Moto Europa will be hosting Round 7 of the Missouri Hare Scrambles Championship Series, also at my property. We expect over 150 racers and 400 total attendance. I am looking for volunteers to work as course marshals the day of the race. If you or anyone you know is interested in working the event, please let me know. Of course, if you want to come and spectate, that would be great also.

Please let me know if you will be joining us on July 3 as we are trying to get a head count. Directions are as follows: Take Interstate 70 west from Wentzville, MO to exit 175 (about 35 minute drive). At exit 175, head south on Missouri highway 19 towards Hermann for about 7 miles until you reach County Road K. Turn right at County Road K for 5 miles to County Road HH. Turn right and travel almost exactly 3 miles to my property which is listed as 141 Overkamp Road (Note that the last one and a half mile is a gravel road). All in all, it takes about an hour from Wentzville.
