Greetings, Moto Guzzi friends. I’m sure you’re loving this riding weather! I had my 1100 Sport out yesterday, my Convert today, and I plan to ride my Ambassador to church tomorrow morning. Cool mornings and warm afternoons are great!
Some of our regulars have been lobbying me to schedule one of our lunches at a little place west of the mountains called “Gertie’s Country Store.” They really like the place – both the food and the people who run it. I haven’t eaten there, but their menu and pictures online look great, and friends speak highly of it. So, the Central Virginia Moto Guzzi lunch will be held at Gertie’s this month. Here are the vitals:
Location: Gertie’s Country Store
Address: 563 Tye River Turnpike, Vesuvius, VA 24483

If you need to contact me, my email address is
mjon...@yahoo.com. My cellphone is
(434)-333-8333, though I don’t hear it ring when I’m on my bike, of course. As always, all brands are welcome, as are non-motorcycle modes of transit and people from outside Virginia, so long as they don’t mind talking about motorcycles for an hour or two. We’ll meet “rain or shine,” as they say. :-)
Ride safe,
Mike
