Mass-2 and Mass-13 participated in Mass-3's Bill Hodge Memorial Run and helped raise over $2,000 for the Shriner's Burn Center.

(With the bikes parked on the backside of the common) We enjoyed a peaceful coffee and sweets from (nearby) Kristina's on the Belchertown Common.

It was a perfect summer's day for our July 4 weekend Cookout. Had a big crowd find their way into Petersham for the afternoon and had an overabundance of food!

RK Vermont-2 sure knows how to throw a party! We went up for their annual Ray's Ride, had a great ride around the area... and when it came to door prizes I think Mass-2 took the record! We were beginning to think that we would need to get a trailer to get everything home!

Oooo... so cool!

The week of July 4th saw temperatures break 100 degrees in Mass. Our Asst. Road Captain was out for a ride along the Mohawk Trail and took advantage of the refreshing river along the route!

Yea, yea, we know... follow the rules!
But really Officer our president didn't see the sign before we parked!

Chaper VP Kevin Martin was on a 5,000 mile post-Americade jaunt to welcome in summer. As he returned to New England a group of Red Knights met him at UConn to share some ice cream. Then he was stopped at the Mass border to make sure his credentials were in order!

At the 2010 Central Mass Safety Council Dinner, Walter Roach was honored with a recognition from the Council for his years of work and enthusiasm with the Safety Council

Wishing Peg's mom Vera a Happy Birthday at her 90th b'day!

Congratulations to Mary Barclay on successfully completing her Beginner Rider Course and getting her motorcycle endorsement!

Mass-2 "Skills Day" 2010
No matter how long you have been riding, skills practice is time well spent. Even an old codger can learn something to improve his (or her) riding skills!

When was the last time you were a passenger? It is quite a different perspective!

(Gives you greater respect for the trust that person sitting behind you gives to you!)

What is Skills Day?

Oh! Those poor tennis balls!

At our Spring Weekend in the Berkshires
VIP treatment at the Yankee Inn in Lenox. Under cover for the rain Friday night	We met up with members of NY 29 for their annual "Ride to the Home" and won 'the furthest traveled!"

The Mass-2 and Mass-13 contingents of the Guiness Book's World's Largest Poker Run

Our annual stop at Mother Anna's in the North End. ...on the train ride home there were some many pictures of sleeping Red Knights that there is not enough room for them all!

Oh No!...

Peg and the Mayor!

Hey, how many horse power is that!?!

The first day of spring saw temperatures in the 70's and Bob's Wing under an HD escort. First for breakfast at Reed's Country Store in New Braintree and then for an ice cream at the UConn Dairy Bar.

Having breakfast under the surveillance of a grizzly bear at Michael's Bridge Diner in Clinton.

Participants in the welcome home parade & celebration for USMC Sgt Joshua Bouchard in Holyoke

March 6... 50 degrees!

The Americade Planning meeting brought out a few bikes and big smiles!

Hmmm... what's that date?
Someone (or two) snuck out for some February riding!

Off for another breakfast together. Saturday courtesy of the Boy Scouts at the Rollstone Church in Fitchburg and Sunday courtesy of the Royalston FD.

Do we really know where we are going? It was guy's day out via the train to Boston (and no, we did not get lost - do we go in bound or outbound??)...
