Second Sunday Ride

Rob Sterling — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 16:37:31 +0000

Quick note: following last Sunday’s rain-out we’re planning to ride tomorrow, March 13th. Details will be worked out over breakfast at Crossroads, but it’s likely we’ll be aiming for the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry from the south bank, with a ride into Williamsburg for lunch after arriving on the north bank of the James. This will be a long ride.

Please arrive at Crossroads in the Fan no later than 11:00am, and earlier if you want to eat before leaving. We’ll try to be on the road by 11:30.

Update: Remember to move your clocks ahead Saturday night or you may miss the ride!

Update: It was a great ride! Pics below.

The First Sunday Ride of the Seven Hills Scooter Club will be this Sunday, March 6th. Riders should begin to assemble at Crossroads Coffee & Ice Cream in Richmond’s Fan District at about 10:30am; we usually start the ride about an hour after. In addition to scooters, motorcyclists are also welcome. We always fuel up nearby before heading out.

Afterward we ~~usually~~ head to a bar.

Rinsing the filth of last year off

Anthony Meñez (President) — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 17:13:14 +0000

7 Hills SC Ceremonial Garb. New for 2011!

2011, wash over me and rinse the filth of last year off in an effort to start new.

Here we are into another year. On behalf of the officers of the club I hope everyone had a good holiday.

I’d like to first state that we are currently collecting membership dues ($30) for the new year. For anyone who would like to join or renew their membership, please contact us here for information on how to do that or come out and see us at Patrick Henry Pub & Grille Thurday nights at 7:30ish and see one of our officers (Anthony, Ed or Dwayne). Or just come and have a drink with us.

2011 is looking to be a fun year filled with lots of great and interesting rallies all up and down the coast. As a club we will try to attend a few of them (i.e. Cocoa Beach, East Coast Classic, Amerivespa..) and we’ll be hosting our annual camping rally this May, The Dogwood Classic.

A handful of us just came from Durham, NC at Freeze Your Balls Off. We had a great time with The Incriminators, Ton Up NC and all the other clubs that attended. It’s a rally we’ll always attend despite the weather. Yes, balls intact. Nice and toasty.

We’re still hosting our 1st Sunday Rides, the first Sunday of every month at Crossroads in the fan at 10am and I’m sure there will be plenty of impromptu rides here and there.

This kind of came out like a State of the Union address. I didn’t mean it to be. I just wanted to remind everyone that we’re still here and we want all motorized two-wheeled vehicles to join us in anything/everything. Day/night, good/bad weather whatever.

You can still find us on Facebook, Twitter blah blah blah..

Get out there and ride safe e’rrybody!

~ant!

oh yeah, thanks to our web guru Rob for putting together this spiffy new site. Ain’t it purdy?

Indian Summer 5 – it’s a wrap!

Dwayne — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 03:53:23 +0000

A big thanks to everyone who came out for our Indian Summer 5 rally! We had a great time and hope you did, too. 2011 is looking even better already. We’re working on the Dogwood Classic in May (details to come!) and are already discussing new and interesting ideas for next year’s Indian Summer.

In the meantime we have other rallies to ponder. FYBO, Cocoa Beach, Amerivespa, Lammy Jammy… Let’s get as many 7 Hills members to these events as possible. Time to represent!
