AMCA Highlands Chapter: What We Do

The AMCA Highlands Chapter

What We Do

We ride! Most weekends you can find us in the wind.

Sometimes it's just a few folks, and sometimes it's a large group. There's an active contingent in western Loudoun County, and another in the Gainesville-Warrenton area.

We freeze! Our last ride of the year is in November, and is appropriately called the "Freeze Your Butt" run.

We meet! We have monthly meetings on the third Thursday evening each month. During the colder months, we meet at the Gainesville Clubhouse. When the weather gets warmer, we shift around to other parts of our wide range, and our monthly meetings usually include a club ride.

We eat and drink! Christmas Dinner is our only formal event, but our monthly rides include stopping for a sandwich and a cold beer. See photos from our April 18, 2009 Ride

January 2, 2010 Saturday	Meeting & Machine Shop George Downes will host the meeting at his shop. We'll assume that everybody has recovered sufficiently from their New Year’s Eve celebrations. There will be a short meeting and then George will help us with some projects. Probably a good idea to keep the drinking to a minimum (Maybe this should be a Tea-Totaler meeting). George doesn’t want anybody to lose any fingers.
