The “Ride”: Once again another beautiful evening greeted the Nacho'ers. It was cloudy and on a couple occasion there may have been a drop or two of moisture but a great evening. The Weather Station south of Eagle was reporting mid 70’s temperature at 6:30 PM and as you all know the humidity was in the mid 80s. Not much wind unless you came back after dark. Remember, as the daylight hours get shorter you will need to get your lights in working order. $25.00 Gift Certificate Winners: Sorry but I missed getting the winner of last week drawing posted. The winner of last week’s bike shop gift certificate was Nick Soper. While I’m on the subject and so I don’t forget this week’s winner, it is Todd Long. Congratulations on both winners. Make sure you see DD for your certificate. “The Crowd”: The attendance was good, we didn’t’ get an official count but there were Nacho’ers still arriving at 8:00 PM. It looked like the One Eyed Dog staff was busy and not able to take a break. There were even additional people on staff and of course Dangerous Dan was at the helm of the OEDS ship. There were some new riders from the opposite end of the MoPac last night. I talked to one lady who drove from Louisville and then rode from Louisville to Elmwood where they picked up some additional riders and made the trip to the OEDS. I also talked to a couple of ladies that were so energetic on the ride from Lincoln to Eagle that they kept going and made the turn around in Elmwood. Way to go ladies. Of course the ‘cow herding’ experience was extra. J “Who said it was OVER?” I saw the Lincoln Bike Club website yesterday where it posted the Nacho Ride as being “Officially Over”. Bummer, but sure don’t know who made that decision when we have many more Tuesday’s left on the calendar for this year. So the Nacho Ride is officially not over and the Nacho (Fall) Ride "Falling in love with Nachos" continues Tuesday night September 1st. We could call next Tuesday’s ride a warm-up to the September 15th appreciation night ride. The 2009 Nacho Ride is not Over and to signify this fact Dangerous Dan (DD) is planning a Nacho Ride Fall Appreciation Party on Tuesday September 15th at the OEDS. DD has arranged for ‘special prizes’ to be given away throughout the evening. We are also working on some other ‘awards’ for this “Fall Nacho Ride” so stay tuned to this website for more information. One More Date” to mark on your calendars: September 12th, 2009. Saturday Night. This is Sheriff Robin’s Official going away PARTY. I am waiting for all of the details but for now just mark that Saturday evening as “Ride to the OEDS” night and ‘wish the Sheriff safe travels’.
