Our Christmas party this year was held in Bloomingdale at the Bloomfield Club Clubhouse.  The party gave everyone a chance to get together and share a great meal over lively conversation.

Windy City RATs as well as MCC employees attended.  During the party a slide show was running with pictures from most of our events during the past year.  Thanks to Dave for making a copy of the slideshow on a CD for each couple attending.

We also had a TV and Play Station setup where people could race safely race each other.  It was a lot of fun watching some people sway in place while playing as though they were really on their bike!

After dinner door prizes were given away, including Triumph t-shirts, mugs, calendars, signs, a backpack and even a beach towel.  Many thanks go to Triumph, MCC, Don Kames and Chris McKee for donating items for the door prizes.

 During the evening we shared stories of past events and our plans for future ones.  We also were happy that we were all able to be together -  especially those that had been involved in accidents during the past year (both on and off of our bikes).  We mourned the loss of our good friend and riding partner Pete Kovar.  We will miss him and have his family in our thoughts during this holiday season.

2004 was a great year and we're looking forward to making 2005 just as great!

Happy Holidays!!
