Just for Fun Calendar
This is a
listing of informal rides and gatherings that are available to HSTA members.
These are a vital part
of the HSTA
experience. Our mission is to spread the word about what HSTAer's are doing,
when they're doin' it,
and where the
rest of us can join in on the fun!
Please,
always be sure to contact the organizer before attending, for their planning
purposes, and in case of a
change in the
event plans. The state newsletters, many of which are available at
ridehsta.com, are a good source of
details.
