Thunder Roads Colorado Magazine Volume 11 Issue 5 | Page 5

F ebruary is here and winter is just flying by. We have one (whole) month of winter under our belt. I guess that means that June is not quite around the corner? Anyway, this is the time of year in Colorado when we might be sometimes pleasantly surprised with a warm day that you can manage to squeeze a quick ride on the bike into the day. Granted, it is usually short ride but a short ride is better than no ride and still counts as some wind therapy—doesn’t it?! It is also the time of year when you see all of your biker friends on social media posting MEMEs instead of riding “I have P.M.S. Parked Motorcycle Syndrome” or my favorite “Nobody Hates Winter Like a Motorcyclist” on top of a picture of a motorcycle covered in snow. T he good thing is, we only have a few of months until spring gets sprung and some real riding weather rolls in and we can twist and go. Real riding weather also brings us motorcycle events listings. From upcoming poker runs, parties and other events that others might want to join, we post details of the events we receive notification of (or find out about elsewhere) in the Thunder Roads Motorcycle Events Listings. We need your help to notify us by email with the details of the events that are upcoming from poker rides and runs to any other motorcyclistfriendly events across Colorado! A lot of time is spent trying to put together the Thunder Roads Colorado Magazine Events Listing in the magazine. We try to find the events listings online and include them in TRCO as well as ensuring that those sent to [email protected] and all of those that are sent by our readers make the magazine. This upcoming riding season we would like recruit your help to be sure that we are receiving and posting the latest new (and older recurring) events for the upcoming magazine issues and that we are not missing too many. Unfortunately, sometimes we also miss an event or several because we just do not know about it. That is where you can help us out. If you know of an event please send us an email at events@thunderroadscolorado. com and please, please, please include the details for your event including: The Event Name Event Address/Location, Event Organizer or sponsor (who is throwing/in charge of the party/ event/etc.) What the event is (e.g. poker run, pig roast at the American Legion, etc.) Special instructions (e.g. wear Catholic school girl uniform for Catholic School Girl Run) Event Flyer Copy if one is available Events can also be sent to us through email, Facebook and via telephone if you prefer. Simply contact us via our Facebook page or our Facebook Group. Remember, your event listing in our events page is FREE we just need to know about the event before the deadline for the month. Deadlines are always the 15th day of the month before publishing. For example: Our next deadline is February 15. 2016 for the March issue. Events should list the day, date, time and address of the event and be received on or before the fifteenth day of the month in order to meet printing deadlines. If an event or advertisement and payment is received www.thunderroadscolorado.com after the deadline of the 15th has passed, advertising for that month will NOT be printed within magazine for that month. If you don’t have that much lead-time then the Thunder Roads Colorado Magazine Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/ groups/1437348606550426/) is open to anyone to join and is a place where we welcome members to share MEMEs, events and interesting motorcycle related articles.
