[TR] Feb 10 - Drive Your Triumph Day

[rbtr3a at cox.net]

This is a great and wonderful idea. I was wondering how this date was decided. A large portion of the country may be unable to participate because their cars are in storage as a result of winter precipitation. 

It seems like your efforts may yield greater participation if this event was held in the spring.

Below is the reminder email I just sent out to the Travelers, and thought I should send it to this list as well.  Please read and send me a photo as described below.

Go by yourself or take your significant other, a friend, child, grandchild, or your dog.  Meet up with some fellow Travelers.  Then take a photo of your car.  You and your car. Your car and your passenger.  What ever!   If your car isn't running, take a photo of it in your garage or under a tarp. Then send that photo to me with a brief description of where you are and who you're with.

A group of Travelers are going to Canepa Design in Scotts Valley, and a few Travelers are meeting at Alpine Inn for lunch and a group photo.  Both are listed on the TTSCC Event Calendar. http://www.triumphtravelers.org/Activites/actperp/activityList.php
