Va Guzzisti,
Well, covid numbers are rapidly rising again. As before, I'm not comfortable w/the
idea of gathering the group for lunch indoors at a restaurant.
So, the August 2021 Va Guzzi Riders lunch meet will be
this coming Saturday, August 14th, 12:00 NOON at Stonehouse Lake Park
in Northern Amherst County. Details & a map available:
http://visitamherstcounty.org/destination/map/stonehouse-lake-park/
This will be a nice ride up into the country from most any
direction.....but it IS up in the country, there's nothing but a little
store on the Nelson/Amherst County line (next to the Piney River) even
remotely close by. If you want to buy your lunch on the way it will
have to be in Amherst/Madison Heights from the East/South,
Lovingston/Nellysford from the North, or Buena Vista from the West.
PLEASE NOTE the 12:00 noon hour...come early, weatherguess has it HOT
Saturday, if we get there a little earlier we can be safely home before
the serious heat of late afternoon sets in.
It looks like this Covid surge will continue to expand, and another new
variant is beginning to make the rounds, so it might be quite some time
before we can have our meets in restaurants again. I ask all y'all to
keep eyes open for other outdoor locations where we can have our monthly
meets. I'm sure many small towns have parks w/pavilions etc. etc. All
we really need are a few picnic tables under a shelter (for rainy
days). Let me know of any you see/check out that look promising.
See ya up at Stonehouse, ride safe & stay healthy,
Ron
