So, here we are again. I hope this finds all of you are all still doing well and staying safe and healthy. The weather has been really awesome, if not a little warm. I hope most of you have been able to get out and enjoy it!

Alright! This is gonna feel like Groundhog Day all over again, but we do have a bit of a different message for you. It still looks as though things are continuing to trend in a positive direction. Your Seacoast HOG officers are working on ideas to get us back to Riding and Having Fun. We have been staying in touch with our Sponsoring Dealership management. We also had a very productive meeting with our HOG Regional Manager.

So, with all that said, this is where we’re at… we are getting there, but we’re still not to the point of resuming our chapter schedule. Now, we still want you to be able to ride and have fun. If you do ride, consider pick-up rides. We highly encourage each and every one of you to continue to adhere to established state guidelines and direction. Primary among that is keeping groups to 10 people or less. Also, all of the dealerships are still asking that anyone visiting please wear a face mask.

Unfortunately, though, as we are not resuming our schedule, this means that we are canceling another week’s worth of activities. These new cancellations include:

HOG Chapter Meeting, Thursday, 6/4

Tumbledown Cafe Ride, Saturday, 6/6

RHD Demo Rides, Saturday, 6/6

Fisher Cats Day at the Park, Sunday, 6/7 (potential for reschedule)

LOH is also going to reschedule their Chili Cook-Off to the Fall.

Another positive change – the Black Sheep Blessing of the Bikes is back on. They have organized a drive-thru type set-up. Unfortunately, there will be no breakfast, bike contest or raffle, but you can still get your bike blessed. Our Director indicates he is planning on going. You can find more info at https://www.blacksheephdfc.org/chapter/southern-maine-chapter/

Most of you may have also seen that Iron Adventure, 7/29-8/2, has been cancelled.

There will be more about our schedule soon.

As always, please continue to do your part to help minimize the spread of this freakin’ virus. Also, keep in mind that we are all in this together and any one of us may be on edge. It’s not just you.

Don’t forget, if you know of any our members that need assistance with anything, let’s work together to help them out. And let’s not forget our members that may not have Facebook or are may not use email. Welfare checks are always highly encouraged, including family and neighbors that may need you, too.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Hang onto what sanity you may still have! And, as always, stay civil. We will come through this together.
