Crossroads Cruisers 2025
The 2025 Riding Season has ALMOST arrived! We had a meeting March 30th to plot out the calendar. As for our schedule, these dates were determined by those present. This year, our schedule includes a total of 11 local rides, one 2-day ride in late June and a 3 ½ -day ride in late September.
As it stands right now, all rides have been assigned a leader. (But if you are open to being ‘on call’ for leading a ride, please let me know.) The local rides fall on the Saturdays and involve about 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours at the most. They generally cover 80 – 110 miles. Each of these rides begins at the church building (make sure your tank is full or nearly full when you arrive).
We purposely scheduled the rides on Saturdays with the thought that if we ran into bad weather, we could move the ride to Sunday. To be safe, check your email for possible cancelations or changes if weather looks questionable, or if you know the ride leader, call them.
General info about Rides:
Here are a few things I want to make sure you’re aware of:
1. This is an open group. So feel free to invite friends to join us on any of these rides. All I ask is that you clue them in a little as to how we do a ride, or introduce them to me and I will. If you have a friend that would like to be included on the group emails, just pass on their contact info to me.
2. The local rides generally include stopping for ice-cream, a coke, or even a meal somewhere along the way. A few days before a ride, whoever’s leading the ride will send out an email giving basic details of where we’re headed and if we’ll stop to eat a meal or grab a coke.
3. If you are running a couple minutes late for a ride, call the ride leader or my cell phone at 913-284-4545. Otherwise, we might end up leaving without you!
4. If you are in doubt whether or not a ride has been canceled due to rain, first check your email to see if a notice has been sent out about the ride. If you don’t see an email, feel free to call the ride leader or my cell phone at 913-284-4545. Unless I’m out of town I should be in the ‘know’.
5. Every year it seems we have a couple leaders that end up not being able to lead on the date they’ve selected. So if you would have any interest in being ‘on call’ to step in and lead a ride, let me know that now. Then as soon as I’m made aware of a situation I can contact you to see if you’re interested to lead that ride.
6. It is preferred that leaders of rides scout out their route ahead of time. That way they can avoid road closures and have a better feel for how long the ride will take. Then, early in the week of the ride, you can fill everyone in on what the plan is.

Multi-day Ride Info:
June 27 – 28:
This year we will also have a 2-day ride (Fri-Sat) on June 27th & 28th led by Toby & Stacy. That ride has yet to be determined. I will notify you as we get close for planning if not sooner. Also, be sure to specify if you’re wanting a hotel room to yourself or are willing to share a room. We will depart from the Church at 9am (already having had breakfast & fueled up).
September 17 – 20:
The 3-Day ride this year could possibly be a western Kansas ride to visit 2 Motorcycle Museums. Toby & I will be planning and leading that ride and we will determine hotel stays once the complete route is finalized. You’ll need to let us know if you will be on the ride and if you would prefer a single hotel room or if it is OK to share a room. At this time, we are planning to depart from the church at Noon on Wednesday (already having had lunch & fueled up).
