Default Last Ride of the Year

Just had an email forwarded to me about a date change for the Annual Last Ride of the Year. Not sure if any of the crew have made the trek in the past but it’s definitly a cool event.

“From John Harrison:
News flash!

The Cafe has just informed me tonight that they are unable to host the event on the 30th this year. There was apparently some miscommunication last month when I thought the 30th was confirmed with the staff.

I know many of you plan vacation time around the event always being on the 30th. All I can do at this point is apologize for this late change in the date to Saturday the 29th.

I would appreciate everyone sharing this change in date with your groups, clubs, forums, and lists.

If this unexpected change keeps you from being able to attend, I am very sorry and I hope you will make plans to attend next year.

John Harrison
IBA#203
Host of the Annual Last Ride of the Year
Always on Dec 30th, except in 2018...

What is this Annual Last Ride of The Year??? There's no "last ride of the year" in Florida. It doesn't snow here.

It’s an annual ride in gathering at the Stagecoach Cafe in Stockton, AL Attended by a lot of long distance riders, IBA members, all types of bikes plus locals. It’s been going on 20 plus years. The legendary John Ryan UCC record holder was was there a few years ago right before his untimely passing. There will be riders there who have literaly come across country just to attend. It got moved up a day earlier this year so it would be pretty disappointing to ride up from say Miami and be a day late on Sunday.

Gotcha. I thought it was a Florida thing.

Kind of like the annual ritual ride some of us used to do back in the 70's and early 80's when I lived in CT. Every New Years Day, if it wasn't snowing or raining, we'd take at least a hundred mile out ride for breakfast.
