 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Members of the bike club recently took a ride on the Salem Historical Society Christmas Trolley.

We drove around the town to see the Christmas lights.

Dinner followed at Ezio's in Salem. It was a fun night!

Festival of the Trees

Our bike club members continue the tradition of participating in the Fellows Riverside Gardens annual event known as Winter Celebration: Festival of Trees.
