Bowie Baysox Baseball
Come watch the Bowie Baysox play the
New Britain Rock Cats on Saturday August 9, 2008, at 7:05 p.m.,
with all of the Maryland and Delaware H.O.G. Chapters. There
will be a great ball game and fireworks afterwards. There will
be front row reserved parking for those who ride (we promise)!
You can choose from two different
packages. For just $29.00, you get an all-you-can-eat
All-American buffet. It starts at 6:00 p.m. and includes BBQ,
burgers, chips, pretzels, beans, cole slaw, pickles, fixings,
soft drinks, and ice cream. Seating is in the Budweiser Pavilion
BUT you also get to go between general admission and the
Pavilion. OR for the low price of $11.00, you get box seats very
close to the field. If you wish to eat or drink, the concession
stands are only a few feet away.
Tickets must be paid for in advance,
make your checks payable to Annapolis HOG. We will be collecting
money at the May and June Chapter meetings.

Route: Plan on a long day Saturday! We’ll travel US-32, I-70,

approximately 90 miles (Charles Town, WV) for the Sportsters to
gas up. In Front Royal we’ll stop again for all to top-off our
gas before entering the park. I plan to arrive at the park
entrance NLT 10:30. If all goes well, we can ride the entire
length of the parkway, approximately 105 miles. If not, I'll
adjust accordingly. We’ll depart the park and ride US-340 to New
Market. The official ride ends at the hotel on Saturday. On
Sunday, you may join me to return to Skyline Drive and re-ride
about 30 miles of the scenic drive. Then it off to the horse
country and the back roads of VA toward Leesburg, VA, Frederick,
MD, and home (with a lunch stop enroute).
