Monthly Recap (October)
October has come and gone. And soon the political advertisements will be as well. Both the Portland and Seattle area members had a day ride but other club functions were cancelled. For a recap of the two day, continue reading.
Let’s hope for some positive change so that we can gather together again.

November
There will be a virtual club meeting on November 21, at 5:00. The meeting will be held via ZOOM and members can log in at 5:00 for a bit of social time before the meeting begins. With 2020 winding down and the Annual General Meeting coming up soon we need to nominate members to the Board of Directors for 2021. The club bylaws state that nominations are to occur at the October, November and December meetings of the club with elections to occur at the AGM in January. The current board has decided that to facilitate the nominations we will hold our November meeting virtually. Besides board nominations we will also talk about ideas for the Holiday Party this year, the AGM, and Anniversary Banquet. Please be watching your email for the link to the meeting.

Riding the Wheatfields
Blue B
Many of you might remember Montana Dave from years back when he was a regular guest of the Border Riders. He was one of the first that I met when I became involved some 8 years ago. We did Fossil twice and went on Dave E's last big ride through BC and Alberta. When we first met he was living in Missoula, then moved to Spokane, next to New Mexico and is now back in Billings. We have maintained contact over the years, and two years ago did a trip to Yachats together where he could finalize some family business.
Several weeks ago he calls and says, “I need to be in Missoula, so why don't I head west, and you head east and we can have a day ride someplace?” I didn't need much convincing, so out came the maps, and settled on meeting in Dayton, WA. Dayton is a cute little farm town among the thousands of square miles of wheat. It would be 300 miles for me, and 300 miles for Dave. We headed out on Saturday July 4th, and the trip was without incident. I arrived at the motel first, and only needed to wait about 7 minutes before I heard the recognizable sound of Dave's Dyna. Pretty good coordination if I do say so myself. One place was open for dinner, “Dad's Place”, so there was no argument about food. We agreed to wait until morning to figure out which direction to go. Decided to end the day in Ritzville, which would give each of us about 300 miles to get back to our starting points.
Picked up our brown bag breakfast, pulled out the map and elected to pick up HWY 127. Packed the bikes and headed out. 50 miles later HWY 127 ends in Dusty, WA which has a little general store and a couple of houses, and lots of wheat silos. At the intersection of HWYs 127 & 26 there is a pull-out rest stop with campground style toilets. Nothing unusual, so we relieve ourselves and pull out the map to select whether to go left or right. So here comes the “what are the odds” question. While standing by the bikes, another car pulls in and the person uses the facility and gets back in the car, but the car doesn't move. Not unusual....maybe texting or making a phone call. Then the car starts coming across the lot towards us, and I tell Dave “I hope she's not asking directions, cause all we know is that we are in the middle of the wheat fields.” The window rolls down and a lady's head comes out and says, “BLUE. BLUE B******D!” Turning to get a better look, PAM?” I used to work with Pam, 15 years ago when I was employed in Washington. Hadn't seen her since. 10 minutes of conversation, and she was off to Walla Walla, and Dave and I chose to go left to Colfax, where we found a dive diner open on Sunday that was still serving breakfast.
Picked up HWY 195 for a few miles before turning on to HWY 23 in Steptoe. On to St. John and Sprague where we decided a stop for an ice cream was in order at the local Mom and Pop burgers and ice cream spot. Not much to describe between Colfax and Sprague except the miles of wheat, hundreds of silos and a few farmhouses, one that had a round barn. Final 30 miles to Ritzville on the old Ritzville Road which parallels HWY 395. We get settled and start thinking about a meal, and Dave mentions that he knows of a local cafe called Jake's and knows where it is. I call, and they are open until 8. The little map says they are 1.5 miles away.
We jump on the bikes with Dave in the lead. Rather than take 395, Dave stays left and hits I-90. 10 miles later we turn around and head back. Then there is the big sign that says JAKES CAFE, and we pass the exit again back to our starting point. One more try and we arrive at your typical 1950s truck stop diner. Lot of laughs and lots of food.
Next morning is another brown bag breakfast, and we say our goodbyes and head out about 9:30; me on 395 toward Tri-Cities and Dave on I-90 east to Spokane. For me, the westerly winds picked up immediately after leaving Ritzville and maintained all the way to Umatilla and Hermiston. Don't think I was perfectly upright any portion of the way, and figured I'd be battling the headwinds all the way back to Portland. I was not wrong. My bike usually delivers about 48 mpg cruising at 70. Guessing the headwind was probably a steady 25 with higher gusts. Mileage dropped to about 32 mpg. Again, no incidents, but I was tired and sore upon arriving home.
Take away: Someone for whom you ride 600 miles to take a 200-mile ride is called a true friend.
Thanks Dave.
Mount Baker Day Ride
This was going to be a long day for us - longest ride yet for Will (Wolf) Denton, who started riding in December 2019, and it started out misty and wet. We had to catch a ferry, so it was an extra early morning, in order to be in Burlington by 10am for meetup and coffee. It was that kind of grey, flat light and road-turbulence mist that made it tough to see - such that if it was going to stay that way, it would be coffee and a ride home for us. But the mist stopped at Mount Vernon, where we met Bill and Buck, Chris and Richard, and Jeff C. Buck would have coffee with us then depart on his own many-mile adventure to Tucson, and we would head east toward Mount Baker, ably led by Chris who knew all the scenic back roads. These were truly BACK roads, pretty much local knowledge only roads, thus a lot of fun. The clouds were behind us near the salt water, and we had beautiful blue skies with colorful autumn leaf shows. Chris' route took us along Lake Whatcom, staying east of Bellingham, then north up Everson Goshen Road through Everson, then along the South Pass Road (as close to Canada as any of us will get this year), then south along the Silver Lake Road. We stopped for a break at Silver Lake, then with Richard leading, headed up toward Mount Baker. Chris and Bill just about had to arm-wrestle for who would be tail gunner. SR542 up to Mount Baker is scenic but without many passing zones, and we got behind a church group convoy of several slow vehicles, which made passing as a group nearly impossible. Group-ride passing is something we should talk about before each ride - do we pass only as a group, or as we can one-by-one? It's good to set the expectations before the ride.
Will said as a new rider that he felt very comfortable with the group, and was having a great time. His Harley Street 750 was more than up to the task, and while he might be a new rider, he's more capable than that description would suggest, and he fit in seamlessly.
We were all surprised that, despite the pandemic, the Artist Point parking lot (elevation 5,000') was full and overflowing. Not perfect social distancing or mask wearing, but it was outside with a breeze. The view on that clear, sunny day was spectacular, and we spent at least an hour there soaking up the sun, the views, and the camaraderie or a great group of guys. Chris and Richard brought enough chicken to share with all of us. Rides like this always pleasantly remind me of why I love the Border Riders.
We descended back down the Mount Baker Highway (SR542), gassed up in Maple Falls, then diverted off for more way-back-road riding along the twisty and remote Mosquito Lake Road, then ended the ride on Prairie Road at Chris and Richard's doorstep in Burlington. A long day (longest yet for Will) but a great one. Thanks to everyone in the group for participating, and especially Chris and Richard for leading us on such fine motorcycle roads.
-Tom (and Will)
Day Rides
Portland’s Day Ride -
On October 3rd, Stan C, David R, Dave J, & Alan H headed out from Beaverton towards Vernonia with hopes that the fog would soon burn off. It wasn’t long before those hopes were shattered by the continuous droplets forming on the windshield and working their way up to the top and then over. The temperature was in the high 50’s & low 60’s. By the time we got to Vernonia everyone was ready for a coffee break.
From there we continued with Hwy-47 down to Clatskanie. The twisty road is frequently one of my favorites, but the abundance of fog added an element of uncertainty with every corner that forced us to behave. We made good time into Astoria and enjoyed a hot lunch at the Buoy Brewery before riding Hwy 202 to Jewell & 103 to Highway 26. It was here that we were able to completely ride out of the fog and get a little sun in our faces. It was a short jaunt on Hwy 26 back to Beaverton and onto our homes. All and all, it was a wonderful day despite of the fog. Saddle time is saddle time and it was a fun group to ride with.
Hopefully we will get lucky with the weather in November & be able to get in another day ride. Be sure and watch our FB page for last minute details.
BC’s Day Ride - No plans for November. Watch our F.B. page for last minute details.
Seattle’s Day Ride - Saturday November 7th - the extended forecast looks good for a day ride. Most people know of the 3 Pass Blast, we will be doing a 3 Ferry Merry. Since many of our Washington members are north, we will be keeping it north and with limited daylight keep to shorter riding.
Edmonds-Kingston ferry: either take the 8:50 and meet at Borrowed Kitchen Bakery (Across Highway 104 from where they used to be, no sit down meals any longer, good baked goods until they’re gone for the day) or take the 9:35 and meet at the bakery and kickstand up after the ferry arrives) There are opportunities for breakfast in Edmonds before at some of the usual places like Pancake Haus if you want to meet up before the ferry. Either way leave Kingston after the 9:35 ferry arrives. Opportunity for people like Tom to meet in Kingston.
Ride to Port Townsend via Port Ludlow, Hadlock, Tukey and circle into Port Townsend. Short stop in Port Townsend for ice cream.
Ferry from Port Townsend to Keystone at 12:30. Make reservations if you’re planning on riding.
From Keystone, riders from the north can separate and go north over Deception Pass Bridge, those going south can meander the side roads to Clinton for the ferry to Mukilteo .
Hoping the weather forecast is correct as this may be the last group ride of 2020.
Motorcycle Training 2021
In the October Newsletter, I requested some input as to which motorcycle skill classes you would be interested in taking. I did not get a single replay to that request. So, I have scheduled the classes I want to take but they will be open to the public as well. The classes I am thinking about taking and the dates are as follows;
Saturday, June 5th is the Rider Skills Practice Class. This will be an afternoon class. This class is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 1+ years riding experience. This class is a great way to shake off the cobwebs acquired during the non-riding months of winter.
Sunday, June 6th is the Advanced Braking Clinic. This will be a morning class. This class is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 1+ years riding experience. I have yet to take this class and am looking forward to it.
Monday, August 23rd is either the Advanced Rider Training Class or the Corning Clinic, YTBD. This will be a morning class. This is the Monday after the August Campout tentatively scheduled to be in Oregon. The ART & Corning Clinic is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 2+ years riding experience. The ART class is a prerequisite to the CC. We need to decide as a group which one we want to take. I need to get back to Team OR as to which class we want before December 1st. We can NOT do both.
Saturday, October 16th is the Precision Maneuvering Clinic #1. This will be a morning class. The PMC-1 is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 2+ years riding experience. This is the same weekend as the October Meeting, happening in Portland.
Sunday October 17th is the Precision Maneuvering Clinic #2. This will be a morning class. The PMC-2 is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 2+ years riding experience. This is the same weekend as the October Meeting happening in Portland. The PMC-1 class is a prerequisite for this class.
I have requested Team OR make these classes available on these dates. I tried to schedule these class to coincide or not conflict with other events we already have planned for the upcoming riding season. It would be very disappointing if we didn’t take these classes since Team OR is being kind enough to plan their summer schedule around these requests.
Send me an e-mail to let me know which classes interest you. Treasurer@BorderRiders.com
Finally, Team Oregon has not yet released their pricing structure for 2021. So, the prices listed are my SWAGS. SWAG is an accounting term meaning “Sophisticated Wild Ass Guess”. The prices listed should be very close to actual prices for 2021.
TEAM OREGON ADVANCED CLASS MENU
Rider Skills Practice (RSP)
This is the class many of us have already taken as it is the class I normally schedule in the Spring.
RSP is a great way to refresh your riding skills at the beginning of the riding season. RSP is a half-day course to sharpen cornering, braking, emergency maneuvering and vehicle control skills.
RSP is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 1+ years riding experience.
Tuition is $110 & the class runs 4½ hrs.
Precision Maneuvering Clinic Level 1 (PMC-1)
This is a prerequisite for PMC 2
The Precision Maneuvering Clinic (PMC) is a half-day course modeled on police motorcycle officer training. Participants improve coordination of clutch, throttle, and steering inputs to keep the motorcycle balanced at low speed while executing tight turns and U-turns with precision and control. Students also practice group riding formation, parking, and signals. Track-side chats will help students connect these skills to real-world riding.
PMC Level 1 is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 2+ years riding experience.
Tuition is $110 & the class runs 4½ hrs.
Precision Maneuvering Clinic Level 2 (PMC-2)
Successful completion of PMC 1 is a prerequisite for PMC 2.
Participants fine-tune low speed handling skills, making quicker, tighter turns in more confined spaces. This course also features a high-speed weave and brake-and-escape drill.
PMC Level 2 is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 2+ years riding experience.
Tuition is $110 & the class runs 4½ hrs.
PMC Level 1 & 2 (as a Set)
You will not find this on the Team Oregon Web-site.
This class is a special offering that Team Oregon is willing to do for Border Riders. As a set, we would do both PMC levels 1 & 2 on the same weekend. We would do PMC Level 1 on a Saturday and PMC Level 2 on Sunday. That would be (2) 4½ hrs classes on one weekend.
PMC Level 1 & 2 as a set is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 2+ years riding experience.
Tuition is estimated at $220 & the class runs 4½ hours each day.
Advanced Riding Techniques (ART)
This is a prerequisite for the Cornering Clinic
The riding exercises are conducted on a go-kart track, providing riders expert instruction on the clean, smooth curves on a closed course. While participants ride at more real-world speeds, this is not a high speed, racing-oriented class.
There is a 2-hour online classroom discussion the night before which includes risk management, crash causation, judgment and impairments, braking, cornering, swerving, transitions, and traction.
There will be 4-hours of range (riding) instruction and track-side chats include cornering, braking, swerving and traction management. Team Oregon coaches will help you improve your curve skills by linking turns and choosing better lines. By the end of the day you will be carving smoother, more precise corners.
ART is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 2+ years riding experience.
Tuition is $200 & the class runs a total of 6 hrs (2-hrs class + 4-hrs track).
Cornering Clinic (CC)
Successful completion of the ART class is a prerequisite to this Cornering Clinic.
The cornering clinic is meant as a quick refresher that focused solely on curve skills. When a rider fails to negotiate a turn, it is usually not the first curve that gets them – it’s the second or third in a series of curves. Participants learn to ride “two turns ahead,” linking multiple curves and choosing the best lines.
Cornering Clinics are appropriate for an endorsed rider with 2+ years’ experience.
Tuition is $100 & the class runs 2½ hrs.
Advanced Braking Clinic (ABC)
Based on the braking clinics offered to instructors and police motor officers, the Braking Clinic (ABC) is a short course for endorsed riders to refine braking skills in normal and emergency situations.
ABC is appropriate for an endorsed rider with 2+ years riding experience.
Tuition is $100 & the class runs 2½ hrs.
If you would like more information on any of these classes, please go to the Team Oregon web-site directly. If you still don’t find the information you are looking for, feel free to contact me at Treasurer@BorderRiders.com and let me see if I can help.
From the Handlebars of the President
It seems that we are all looking forward to the political season being over. I am tired of the flyers in the mail, yard signs, newspaper and tv advertisements. I will be glad when the election is over.
October was a rather quiet month. I did enjoy going on the day ride the first part of October with the group to Artist Point at Mount Baker. I really missed the club riding this year. Due to my job being very strict about social distancing I have not participated in the other day rides that the club had. Banking is an essential service and my position overseeing SBA lending for the bank is important.
At the bank we are in the midst of processing Paycheck Protection Program Loan Forgiveness Applications. I have five temporary staff working under me. Normally Halloween is a big deal at work. There is a costume contest and many departments go all out. The bank still had the contest this year but there wasn’t much participation at the Admin building as most departments are split up with folks working from home. The group I work with decided we would be M&M candies.
I am looking forward to the club virtual meeting on November 21st. I will send out an agenda ahead of time. Hang in there and eventually we’ll meet up in person again.
…… keep the shiny side up!
Vice President Chatter
Howdy,
What a dismal 2020 riding season! With Covid, wildfires, political unrest.… it was difficult to feel safe, plan things, and enjoying the summer riding season. I have missed things like riding the bikes, camping, and most of all hanging out around the campfire with you, my BRMC Brothers & our Guests.
I can promise you this, the board is working very hard to try and make the 2021 riding season a season to enjoy. So stay tuned & start blocking out your calendar with our scheduled event as those dates become available.
WTH, I’ll leak some dates now. Block out Friday, Saturday & Sunday for the weekend of May 21st, June 18th, July 16th, August 20th, & September 17th. You might as well block out the weekend of October 16th while you’re at it. That’s just the beginning people. O, also look at the training schedule listed above and block out those dates too. Let’s make up for a dismal 2020 riding season.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay tuned. I hope to see everyone soon.
Road Captain Rumblings
My thanks to Chris and Richard for organizing a Seattle Area Day Ride in October. Wished I could have been there for the scenery and switchbacks, but decide that the good weather was more important to work on Dale’s roof and to keep him dry and happy for the winter.
Looking ahead to next season - Pine Flats is booked for our next Victoria Day! Planning wise expect to keep the same places as had booked for this year. Working on scheduling as the time frames for booking open. Plan is:
June: Seattle Pride, location TBD.
July: Squamish Valley Camp Ground south of Whistler BC
August: Union Creed Camp Ground between Sumpter and Baker City Oregon
September: Grandy Lake Camp Ground near Concrete Washington
Treasurer’s Ramblings
All amounts owed to us have been collected. All the bills I am aware of have been paid. All our account balances are where I expect them to be. Briefly stated, “Piggy Bank be balanced”.
Additionally, as the year draws to a close, I start reviewing our financials for the year and begin the process of creating a budget for next year. COVID-19 has created a disastrous situation for the club not only in our inability to safely meet up, but it has had a negative impact on our finances as well. It is nothing major, I am not pulling the fire alarm bell here. The club is still very financially stable, but you should read on.
In the accounting world, it is possible to break down expense into 2 broad categories, Fixed and Variable. Fixed expenses occur whether the entity conducts any business or not. Things like rent for our PO Box and Storage Unit, as well as our insurance are a couple fixed expenses we incur. Variable expenses are things like fees we pay for food at VD or campsite fees. If we do not do anything, we will not have any variable expenses that need to be paid for & the more we do, the more variable expenses we will incur.
The way the club finances are structured is, it is your annual membership dues that pay for most of those fixed expenses. The banquet almost never pays for itself but the Victoria Day Campout is cash flow positive & thus, subsidizes the banquet. The Victoria Day Campout also covers what few Fixed Expenses that are not covered by membership dues. Everything else we do is designed to be break even.
At the 2020 AGM, the club agreed to spend a little more than normal to put on a heck of a party for our 50th Anniversary Banquet. I think we can all agree that it was a success (Thx Chris L for all your hard work). The board planned on taking that momentum to the VD Campout and hopefully generate enough cash flow to cover the cost of the banquet that the banquet registration fee did not cover.
Then COVID-19 happened and we had to cancel the Victoria Day campout. While we were able to scramble and get all our deposits refunded thus not losing any money there, we did not generate the cash flow we needed to pay for the banquet overrun. For that reason, we had to use some of our cash reserve to pay for the banquet and balance the books for 2020.
While I am on this topic, yes, we were also able to get all our summer campout reservations canceled timely and all deposits refunded. A big thank you goes out to the hard work & persistence of our Road Captain Dennis for making that happen.
If anyone “Members Only” has a specific question that you would like to ask, please feel encouraged to reach out to me and let us have a discussion. However, before you do, attend the upcoming zoom meeting in November where I plan to take a little time and give a presentation followed by a Q&A session.
Again, I would like to reiterate that the club is still financially stable. The board is looking forward to a busy summer and a hell of a VD Campout in May, as well as a busy 2021 riding season.
Secretary Thoughts
Outside my bedroom window on October 25th
It is pretty hard to come up with interesting things to write about this fall. As you might guess I am not getting out very much. Like me, you are probably sick and tired of the craziness of this political season. And by the time you read this newsletter it will be two more days to go before we find out the results.
One good thing that has happened is I’ve learned how to use Zoom so I am meeting with people in various organizations on a regular basis. That includes the two Zoom social meetings that the BRMC has had. It was good to see you all, to chat, make jokes with you all, and most importantly, to hear laughter. I didn’t even find Dan S’s guffaws annoying because it was just good to be with you all again.
It looks like for the near future our meetings and social time will still be virtual. The board is making plans hoping that they won’t have to be canceled in the 2021 riding season. In any case, I hope we will have opportunities like we did this year to have group rides again. Until then, hang in there, and I am looking forward to seeing you all regardless of what happens with the pandemic.
