TriDoD Events
These are regular events which will happen unless the Keeper of the Event posts something to the contrary.
Biker Brunch (BB)
Sunday mornings, rain or shine. BB is a group ride to a breakfast location. The leader/s of the ride will vary from week to week, as will the breakfast style and location. The BB meeting location, however, does *not* vary!
Meet there at 8:45 to leave at 9:00 sharp; make sure that by 9:00 you have 80 miles of fuel in your tank. If there's some reason you're likely to need more frequent stops, please don't be afraid to tell the group so allowances can be made.

- Notes: Please read the group riding protocol
New Bike Rounds (NBRs)
It's a tradition for folks who get a new bike to buy a round for at least one other TriDoD person. Usually takes place at MMG, but the date/location/amount is up to the person buying. It is *optional*, just a tradition, not a social requirement.
Note: NBR has nothing (necessarily) to do with beer. It's the idea of sharing one's joy at the acquisition of a new (to him/her) motorcycle, with people who understand the feeling. We only settled on beer because it's what we all drank at such gatherings at the time we started them. NBRs are optional, they are completely of the purchaser's discretion, and they are beside the damn point -
The point is the NB, not the R! (Ed Green DoD#0111)
- For more details about when NBR is appropriate, contact the Keeper.
- Keeper: Rick Clarke rpclarke@mindspring.com
- Notes: This date/location is flexible. Although MMG is prefered by many, if someone offers up a round as inducement, this crowd can be persuaded to go most anywhere, anytime.
Monthly Monday Gathering (MMG)
Second Monday of every month. Although people arrive at uneven times, generally it runs from about 6:30 pm to 9 pm.
- Keeper: Russell russell-an650@usa.net
- Location: TBD Monthly by Russell
Spring Ride (SR)
Spring Ride started in 1995 as the TriDoD version of the NeDoD's Spring Fling. It is an annual gathering of TriDoD scum and guests in Little Switzerland, NC for a weekend of feasting on twisties, food, and fellowship.
