We are a very dedicated group of Legion family members. We have many opportunities for you to enjoy the camaraderie on the road. With alot of scheduled rides open to all who want to join in the fun. Explore our sight to see the upcoming rides and events. We meet at 6:30 every third Tuesday of the month and welcome you to join us.
Turbo has put a lot of time and effort into these rides so please thank him by enjoying some of them. On the Colorado run the ladies are flying into Colorado and shuttling to the hotel to save seat time. There are a few of us that are sharing rooms to keep the cost down. So, let us know if we might be able to assist in pairing, at this time we have one open queen side bed. It makes for a very afordable 2 week vacation!!
