Thanks to Roy for organizing this day. 39 members and friends came to see historical parts of the ‘House that Ruth Built’ before its dismantling after this final season. The players have some of the best seats in the house - the dugout - believe it or not - they’re air-conditioned (and heated on cooler days). Something to think about the next time your sitting the sweaty or freezing fan seats.

We tried, but, were unable to stump our tour guide, Roy’s daughter. We all enjoyed one of 8 or 9 lunch choices at the Yankee Tavern from burgers to dogs to chicken.

See you next year at the new stadium???

Well folks - this was a hot one! By the completion of the ride the temp neared 90. Over 20 members and participants endured the heat and rode this year. Fortunately most of the ride pasted thru wooded, well shaded areas. All but a few opted for the extended ride past the Califon rail station onto the dirt road back to High Bridge. As anticipated - the Circa restaurant served a great lunch.

Stayed tuned for photos and video…

See you next year…

Did you join us last year or two years ago on Craigmeur’s Delaware River rafting trip? If not, you don’t know what you’ve missed! It was so much fun…the weather was great and the food was to die for. Hanging with close friends and family just made our time spent there so relaxing and just down right FUN!

This year, we decided to make some minor changes that could help boost group involvement. We decided it was time to kick it up a notch! - We changed the river route, and for those who decide to camp, we will be able to ALL camp together! We will be using Diane and Olivier’s catering service but this year, they will be joining the group of campers all in the same field! We will have a section of the field designated for Craigmeur.

By having the field, we will be utilizing five (5) campsites that will accommodate campers with hookups, fire pits, and an entire field for camping and parking. We will be able to have fires in the campsites however, there will be NO fires allowed in the field itself. So, this will bring the group together and we can all enjoy roasted marshmallows by the camp fire!

If you are interested in joining us, you are not committed until payment has been received. So, save the date and come to any club meeting to make your payment. Remember, you do not have to be a club member to participate – more the merrier! Ask friends and family.

Olivier will be cooking Fridy evening.  Menu consists of: Pasta, Meat Sauce, Salad, and Dinner Roll.  Please provide your own drinks (soda, juice, etc…)

Olivier will also provide Breakfest on Sunday for an additional fee of: $5.00. Menu: Eggs, Toast, French Toast, Coffee, Taylor Ham, Bacon, etc….

We look forward to seeing you on the river!

This years Bike New York was on Sunday, May 4, 2008 - as usual - turnout was great; about 30 Craigmeur members and friends rode and partied afterwards. Once we were off the boat we once again lost Diane - found just in time for the group photo. Other then the few expected flats - no major mechanical challenges. Not to make the same mistake as last year we got seats inside the ferry rather then in the wind-tunnel below. There was everything from chips, dip, salads, burgers, dogs and even incredible marinated chicken - we need to make sure Oliver is there from now on! Thank you to all who contributed (main dishes – sides – chips and pickles – etc…)

Great ride - see you next year.
