| Description: | This event has been a tradition for the hardcore (and the hung over) for about 45 years. What better way to bring in the New Year, and show your commitment to the sport, than by going for a ride? Due to the variable weather, the event is usually fairly short road ride, starting and ending at the clubhouse. Previous events have included dirt bikes running trailer plates in the snow. A bus with a group of fair-weather riders, people with “Happy New Year” party hats taped onto their helmets and blowing noisemakers; and a sidecar rig needing a push to get up the icy hill in back of the old clubhouse. We always finish back at the Clubhouse with hot drinks and a meal which gives everyone a chance to tell tall tales about the Ride that day. When the weather is fair, there are usually 20 or more riders. Dual sport bikes predominate when the roads turn to slush or were recently salted. Whatever the turnout, it is always a good time. Come join us for the GVMC New Year's Day Run Friday, January 1, 2027. Mark this date on your Calendar for a great way to start the New Year! Stay tuned for more details. | ||
