Gophers and Cheese

Lots of stuff coming up this month but I wanted to call out a few highlights.  Be sure to check out my Guide To Local Events page to see blog posts and photos from the event's I've attended. 9/6-9/7 (Fri & Sat): 23rd Annual SCVR Chili Feed .  Camping, chili, music, fire, all-you-can-drink beer, and much more.  I have attended this event twice and look forward to attending it again but I can't go this year.  I highly recommend it so go have fun without me. 9/10 (Tue): 3rd Annual Konawerks Bike Show at Grumpy's.  I missed the first two years but am looking forward to checking it out for the first time this year. 9/14: (Sat): Rad's Extra Sharp Motorcycle Show .  I like this little show held at a cheese shop in Wisconsin.  Maybe it's because I've won an award the last 2 years.  Maybe it's because my blog has "cheese" in the title.  With the sorry shape of my Sporty's rear fender right now, I don't see a three-peat in my futu...

I decided to try something new this month and check out Grumpy's Bike Night , which is every 2nd Tuesday.  There's more info on their Facebook page here .  If you remember, Tuesday was the day when it broke 90 degrees and I think some places were near 100.  It was hot. I got to Grumpy's around 6:00pm and there were 5 bikes there, counting my own.  The patio was nice and I sat out there a while enjoying the beautiful weather in the shade.  I hung out for a little over an hour.  There were 10 bikes when I left, counting my own.   It was a good mix of bikes but a much smaller turnout than I was expecting.  Hopefully word gets out and the event grows.
