Our 2025 "Snowbird" edition took place on Saturday (3/22) with 37 members 'challenging' the long, straight roads and gentle curves in this spoof of The DRAGON. This was our 6th edition and our 'newbies' joined the previous 115+ 'survivors' and were awarded their event patch at our lunch stop, just before hopping into Georgia for a short bit and returning home.  Only 3 of us have made all 6, but with Saturday's repeats, we've awarded 97 pins. Thanks to my Road Captain helpers, Brett L, Nic T, David N and Ron M.     

We all chase milage awards, but our 'snowbird' Michigan member just received his 450,000 HOG miles award!  🎉🍾🥂   Our Chapter has 3 active members in that 400,000+ range....but let's celebrate Ken's success!👏👏👏👏😘
