It is a joy to travel to Carmine for the first ride of the season. I can personally count 25 people who attended and we had beautiful weather. This was the 16th Annual Carmine Ride hosted by James and Jane Press.

On Friday, March 9, 10 scooters took off to wander the surrounding area of Carmine.

The ladies had a fantastic tour of the Painted Churches in the area.

Saturday was another busy day.

Saturday morning after breakfast, 11 scooters took off for a day of riding plus a car show. There were some smiling, satisfied guys when they got back that afternoon.

More details will be provided in the July newsletter.

The next event is Water Valley, Ride to Eat. April 21 and 22, 2023. Call Raymond Love (806)759-8870.

Mary Kruska sent the photo of some Texas Cushman Club members who attended the Oklahoma State meet.

“We are constantly looking for new members just like TCC is, and as we transition through this change, our Texas and Oklahoma clubs are becoming more intertwined. I encourage our Oklahoma members to join TCC, and I invite our Texas friends to join the OCC.

Our dues are $15 a year. To join, there is an application for your convenience. And……………to the first 10 new members from Texas who send in their checks and tell Mike Estep that you read it in the Texas Cushman magazine, I will cover your dues for the first year!!!! Your check will be returned.” Paul Kruska quote from the 2023 February newsletter. There are still paid memberships to be claimed.

Debi Goode reported 19 people. Richard Kesselus will have a complete article in the July newsletter.

“The Friday ride was great. 7 scooters drove the local area. We woke up Saturday morning to a monsoon! Needless to say, ride cancelled 😭”

Expanded Meet Activities. If you want to come earlier or stay later and need to work on your scooter you are welcome. Tommy has a general good stock of new and used Parts and this would be a good opportunity to pick up what you need and install at the same time. Just order what you need from Tommy several weeks in advance and let me know when you want to come. It will also be a great time to do some trading or selling. If it rains, we will have plenty to get us involved.
I have one bedroom and bath available, as well as three full 50 amp spots and one more 50 amp with Water. Three 30 amp with water. Make a donation for RV spots.

Since our Texas April meet has been cancelled, we want to offer an opportunity to ride in an Oklahoma sponsored meet. Hope you get to go!

There was a valiant try to create another ride to fill the April cancelled Water Valley ride. But there were not enough replies of interest and lack of available accommodations for this to happen on such short notice. Thanks Gene Perry for your work and maybe our members will get their scooters out and ride in their own area to soothe the spring fever!
