Safety Tip Of
The week
Squeeze An Orange. Last week
we talked about how important the front is. Today's tip will be
about how to use that brake. Still want you to use both brakes all
the time but how can you do that and overcome the fear that some
people have about how the front brake will somehow throw them over
the handle bars, cause the bike to lose control by causing the
front tire to slide out from under them and any number of phobias
that some have of the front brake. The best description I've ever
heard on how to apply the front brake, equated it to squeezing an
orange. If you squeeze instead of grabbing, the rear brake along
with the squeezing of the front brake will give the suspension a
chance to load the weight to the front end allowing you to brake
with maximum application.
Monthly Meeting
Meeting for December will be the Christmas
Party at Ameci's Restaurant 6:00 -10:00.

2018 ACHOG Christmas
Party Sign-up
(Sign-up Deadline = December 1, 2018)
Renew Your Membership
for 2019
Membership Dues and
Sale
Dues for year-$20
It's not too early to start paying our
dues. They are $20 and this is probably the best bargain I get all
year.
Rumor
There is a possibility of a dues increase. If it comes about fear
not. If you pay your dues before December 31 of this year, your
dues for 2019 will remain at $20. You will not realize an increase
until 2020. New members or current members paying after December 31
will pay $25. Even new members paying before December 31 will be
covered for the rest of 2018 and 2019 for $20. Again if it happens.
Up and coming

that non-member to join so they can be a part of all our activities

(The actual cost of this event is considerably higher, so again
your club is subsidizing a great party!)

will be outstanding. We will be doing a Secret Santa gift
exchange again this year. (Gift value should = $15)
Participation is optional.
Please wrap all gifts. Note: the party will also serve
as our December Chapter Meeting, so Terry may address any
outstanding business issues.
There will also be a 50/50 drawing.

Dessert! What more could you ask for at a great party!!!

Thanks
A big thanks to Lyle
for the ride Saturday to Hidden Treasures in Ponce Inlet, always a
beautiful place to visit with not only great food but amazing
scenery. This was no small feat considering the 150 mile long yard
sale on A1A. But he lead us through the woods away from all the
traffic and did all from memory. He only found out about the yard
sale after he showed up at the staging and changed the route on the
cuff. No GPS or BaseCamp for this Road Captain.Thanks also to John
Banks for the sweep. Glad to have you back John.
