Our ride to Lancaster is next Sunday, September 14th. Here’s what we currently have planned:
Meet at Goldberg’s Bagels. 4824 Boiling Brook Parkway Rockville, MD 20852
They open at 7 am. We leave about 8:20 am.
This will be the approximate route to the Plain and Fancy Farm Restaurant: Route
We hope to meet up with the Baltimore Yehudim Riders either outside of Westminster, MD, or York, PA. Details still being worked out.
I have been told the restaurant at our destination at will be The Riverboat on the Potomac. We also have two routes available, a “Twist & Turns” route, and a “Leisurely Ride” route. Routes have been posted on Yahoo. If you aren’t a part of the Yahoo group, but need a route sheet, please let us know. Current weather forecast looks good. Let’s hope it stays that way!
Our ride for August 17th is being put together by Betsy. We’ll be riding to The Dockside Restaurant and Blue Heron Pub. (Let’s focus on the restaurant and not the pub 
) The website is http://www.dockside-blueheron.com. This is also the weekend of the “Annual Rod to the Beach Show” which is a custom hot rod show on the beach. Colonial Beach is about 65 miles from DC, and those who live in Maryland may want to return home via the Harry Nice Bridge which will take you through Waldorf and Clinton.
This will not be a ride with a lot of twisties and turns, but will be along some nice country roads.
Tentative meeting information is as follows:
9:30 am, at the rest stop on Westbound I-66; about 3/4 mile past the Route 29 exit.
Depending on the size of the group, we may need to make a reservation at the restaurant. On or about August 3rd (2 weeks before the ride) we’ll post a poll on the Yahoo Group to find out how many people plan to attend. If you are not a part of the Yahoo Group, you can email us (info@thetribemc.com) if you plan to attend.
Don’t forget to mark your calendar for September as well. We have several rides coming up, including a meet ‘n greet with several Jewish motorcycle clubs from the Northeast, and of course the Ride for Kids! We need volunteers to think of a ride for October, maybe even November. And while you are thinking, it’s never too early to start planning for rides in 2009!!
We were supposed to have a ride on June 22nd, but Jay, our ride leader, is still bikeless. Since no one else stepped forward to lead a ride, we’ll try to meet up for breakfast. Meet at Goldberg’s Bagels (Kosher). 4824 Boiling Brook Pkwy, Rockville, MD 20852 (301) 816-9229. (Same shopping plaza as Royal Dragon and KosherMart, formerly Katz’s) 8 am until whenever. Those who attend may set up a pickup ride. Or we may just nosh, talk, and leave.
If you have any questions, or need directions, email us at info@thetribemc.com.
Mike Blumenfeld has offered to lead a ride this July. Thanks Mike!
Hi. I mentioned at the beginning of the year that I would volunteer to lead a Tribe ride at least once this season. How about a ride leaving from Damascus, MD traveling back roads to the Antietam Battlefield? The ride would end at Antietam so folks who come from different areas could depart home. Since there is no ride scheduled for July, how about Sunday July 13th starting at 9:00am at the McDonald’s downtown Damascus on Ridge Road. I will put together map and directions as we get closer to the ride.
We’ve added rides for June and August. If anyone has a suggestion for a July ride, please share!

If you’d like to get information that is posted to this website emailed to you, we set up a simple feed to do so. If you look down on the right hand column, there is an entry called “Feeds” If you click on the “E-mail Feed” link, you’ll be asked to provide your email, and type in some text to prove you aren’t a spammer. (Sorry, it’s built in the system, I can’t remove that). You will then receive an email message asking if you really meant to subscribe to the feed. (Prevents you from signing up other people without their consent). After that, you will start receiving messages when they are posted here. You only receive one email per day (on days something is posted), somewhere around 7 pm, Eastern Time.
However, changes to entries, and changes to pages, such as the calendar, are not emailed out, so you may still want to check back here once in a while.
Also, we’d like to remind people again, if you met us at the DC Motorcycle show and gave us your email address asking for further information, future events listings, etc., the list was unfortunately lost in a house fire. Please sign up for the email feed, or contact us directly at info@thetribemc.com.
With a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, we were able to place an ad in the recent (March/April 2008) issue of the Winding Roads Motorcycle Times. You can find this publication free in almost any motorcycle dealer. Our ad is on page 5.
