Rough Cut
Thanks to the members galore who showed up and had a blast at the July gathering at Clancy’s. Don’t believe me? Check out the candid photos below snapped by none other than our president, Joe Martinez.
Our August get-together promises to be even better. And how do I know? Because last year’s happy hour at Horsemen’s was one of the best attended events in recent memory (No, my memory isn’t failing!) and everyone later raved. The pony’s were alive and active—just as they will be this year—and a few members even got “lucky.” That is, they laid wagers and won.
Because this is the last happy hour of the summer, let’s wrap up the season with an unforgettable evening. To start, we’ll have our own room, the OSC Room, where we all can enjoy Horsemen’s already low beverage prices and Friday evening Prime Rib Special for $7.95. Both were hits last year and will be again, I’m sure. So come on out and be a part of the fun. You’re all invited. And be sure to bring all of those “new faces” from last month’s gathering as well.
See you there!! . . .

Combined Noshery & Biking Event
Thursday, August 21st—Mineola Taco Ride
(by Gene Hug)
OK... Here's the story. Gary Lamb hurt his back and can no longer bike, hike, or even golf. The OSC board looked for someone to replace Gary for Biking & Hiking, so I volunteered. But not because I'm a martyr--I've always wanted to hike & bike, but couldn't find the time. In fact, I'm not much of a biker. I did one other OSC biking event with Gary last year, and it seemed like the Tour de France peddling back to our cars against a 30 mph wind, uphill—and it nearly killed me. Maybe an experienced rider should be taking over, but I will do my best.
The Noshery Tour has been working well as long as we chose an establishment west of 90th Street. For this month’s event, a "combo" biking and noshery event, we'll peddle 9.8 miles to Mineola, Iowa, to partake in the food and beverage specials at the Mineola Steakhouse; I think the special is 6 tacos and a pitcher of beer for $11. Along the way, we’ll stop and enjoy a drink or two at Margaritaville (the half way point). If you’d prefer the food and drink only, you can drive your car to Mineola and enjoy the specials and stay as long as you want, but beware, there will be plenty of bikers in town.
The plan: Meet at Lewis Central Middle School parking lot (3601 Highway 275, Council Bluffs) between 5:45 and 6:00 p.m. We'll hopefully leave at 6:00 p.m. Help me enjoy my first taco ride (sort of) and the 502nd Taco Ride ever.... If you decide to stay past dusk, I'm told you need lights for your bike, both front and back, but I'm sure you knew that.
