As of now, all Michigan restaurants and bars will be closed until at least March 30. So, the Tuesday Rides/Gatherings are canceled until further notice. Also, the March 22 Chapter meeting is canceled. As Gary C. noted, “our good health needs to be maintained for the riding season.” Kathy will be sending out some notes on the things we would have discussed at the meeting.
The Michigan closures include all restaurants, cafes, coffee houses, bars, taverns, brewpubs, distilleries and clubs, movie theaters, indoor and outdoor performance venues, gymnasiums, fitness centers, recreation centers, indoor sports facilities, indoor exercise facilities, exercise studios and spas, and casinos.
So, chill out at home and, as they say, “help flatten the curve.”
