Dictator's Fall Colors Ride:
Annual run usually from Twin Cities to St. Cloud area or Lake Minnetonka to catch the leaves changing. Barbeque by the lake. Somewhat spur of the moment timing to catch leaves maxing out. The Dictator may choose ,however, to "shake it up" and go anywhere he pleases.....
We go past a lot of lakes,rivers and even some pumpkin patches. It usually takes about two hours to get there, and no more than one hour to return to the cities.
The dictator occasionally will slyly convince the group to lift his pontoon up onto the beach for the winter…..
2003 will be on 10/11 see events calendar
Dictator for Life Ride 2001 1 2 3 4 5 6
We had a great ride thru the fall leaves along some roads which bear repeating. Made a stop near Big Lake to Shanghai Chuck Engval into coming along to the Dictator's for some barbeque and bench-racing. As usual, the Dictator convinced the group to help carry something heavy from place to place (the real reason for the ride.....) This time it was a dock. Hats go off to Pixel Pete Martin who braved the chill and brought his Atlas on the ride (loosing a piston in the process.....) and Fred Case who tooled along on his trusty Commando. Stay tuned for announcement of an equally interesting early spring ride developed by Jim Weatherhead.
Announcement! 2001 ride ......Too late!

Dictator for Life Ride October 7th Saturday 2000
Well, you missed another great ride, if I do say so myself. Yes it was cold, but if you had the foresight to layer and wear mittons, it was great. Gotta thank the Dictator's swell parents for the final venue. Check out the map above, as it's a bit of road most have ignored. We had about 15 bikes actually take the ride, and about 20 total at the BBQ. See the pics: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
