SCHOG Celebrated The End Of 2021 At Renegade’s On The River

By Donna Chapman

schog

Several members of SCHOG Inc. celebrated New Year’s by camping at Renegades on the River. The days were spent visiting several establishments that are advertised in SCHOG’s year-long poker book, getting those books stamped. The stops included some Thunder Roads Florida’s favorites Long’s Log Cabin in Welaka, Swashbuckler’s Marina (the old Hermit’s Cove) and The Hideaway.
Meals together were always enjoyable sitting around talking about all the fun times, recalling loved ones who are no longer with us, and making plans for the future. The evenings you could always find us at the Tiki Bar at “Renegade’s” dancing, drinking, and partying. This year’s band Oaklee was awesome! The best part…our beds were all within walking distance. Thanks to Donnie & Lisa ( Owners of Renegades) for another awesome camping experience. See ya in 2022! Make your reservations early as the cabins and RV spots stay booked!!!

Leesburg & Gator Harley-Davidson’s Fall Rallies 2021

By T. J. Costa

leesb

One of the victims of the Covid 19 Pandemic was the Leesburg Bike Festival. The organizers of the rally were forced to cancel the popular spring event during the shutdown of 2020. In 2021 they held off again but then decided to move ahead with the event in November instead, and it was a huge success. Leesburg came back full speed ahead with Saliva, Hoobastank, Lit, and Eddie Montgomery rocking the huge crowds nightly throughout the weekend. Florida loves this rally and it was evident, as the city was packed full of loyal bikers. It was good to see business as usual downtown with multiple stages, hundreds of vendors and people enjoying themselves.
During the Rallies absence in ’20 and ‘21, Gator Harley Davidson felt that the show must go on so they filled the gap with their own “Gator Bike Rally”. Jan and the staff at Gator really know how to throw a party and they had crowds like they would during the usual rally season. The live music and vendors lineup goes all day everyday and of course there are many shiny new bikes to ride away on if you feel the itch.

Leesburg weekend is also about the riding. Lake, Sumter and Marion counties have beautiful rural areas with awesome country riding. Several motorcycle friendly watering holes dot the countryside and welcome us with open arms. Eaton’s Beach on Lake Weir in Weirsdale is a favorite and just down the road a bit is the quaint little town of Tavares (America’s Seaplane City). We always spend a few hours with Andy, Proprietor at our favorite spot, Hemingway’s Cigar Bar. This time we took our friend George from Chrome Premium Cigars with us to make some smoke down by the lake. We discovered a new place right across the street called The Dog House. It’s a sports bar with a hot dog flare so I had to have one and it was delicious. Take a cruise down there next time and tell them Thunder Roads Florida sent you.

We are still waiting on news and/or dates for 2022 Leesburg Bike Fest. We will keep you posted with updates right here so heads up. Hoping they get back to a regular schedule.

Wreaths Across America in the Heartland

by Phoenix and Metric

wreaths

A childhood visit to Arlington Cemetery inspired one of the largest salutes to Veterans around the world. Morrill and Karen Worcester of Worcester Wreath Company in Harrington, Maine started this tradition in 1992. Morrill had a surplus of wreaths left over after the Christmas season, so Morrill was inspired to donate the leftover wreaths to Arlington Cemetery to honor the Veterans who have given the ultimate sacrifice. The annual event steadily continued to grow until 2005 after a picture of the snow-covered wreaths hit the internet and it exploded into a national event. In 2008, Congress designated the day as ‘Wreaths Across America Day”. Today, wreaths are placed on Veteran’s graves on the second or third weekend in December around the world. This year we added one more location to the mix. Lakeview Memorial Gardens in Avon Park, Florida continued the tradition by hosting their first annual Wreaths Across America wreath laying ceremony. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to our first event. Special recognition to the American Legion Riders from Post 69 in Avon Park for showing up in force and contributing the largest number of wreaths.

I would like to challenge all clubs, organizations, and businesses to support this worthy endeavor. Our hopes and dreams are that every Veteran around the world will have a wreath someday. For more information on Wreaths Across America go to: www.WreathsAcrossAmerica.org.

Rolling into 2022

by Phoenix and Metric

rolling

There is an old saying that whatever you do on New Year’s Day you do all year. So, my New Year’s resolutions for 2022 are: I’m going to get healthier, spend more “Quality” time with Phoenix and ride more. While a lot of places around the country are snowed in or locked down with the virus, we live in the in the heart of the “FREE” state of Florida. Phoenix and I got a jump on the “Quality” time and then we took a ride out to Herb’s Limestone Country Club. The folks at Herb’s Limestone host a monthly BBQ, Blues, Bikes and Beer event. While Herb’s is a little hard to find it is well worth a trip out there. There is always a great food and music at their monthly events. To kick off 2022 they had the “FLORIDA BOYS” cranking out great tunes while “Johnnie’s Old-Fashioned BBQ served up some of the most mouthwatering, delicious BBQ you have ever tasted. So, if you are looking for a great ride with great food and music check out Herb’s Limestone. Just to recap my resolutions, I still haven’t hit the gym in 2022, but two out of three isn’t bad. Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR and I hope to see you out on the road. RIDE SAFE AND GOD BLESS.
