About Martin's RAT Pack... (Rider's Association of Triumph)
The 3rd Saturday of each month from April to October is RAT ride day. Simply meet us on that Saturday at 9 am, grab a donut and coffee and join us for a ride. A RAT Pack member will be present to coordinate the ride. In addition to the Saturday rides, the RAT Pack will host 1, 2 and 3 day trips with the nicest bunch of people you'll ever meet. These rides will require an email request to the ride coordinator to participate.
Motorcyclists can be a diverse group. Everyone (and their bike) has their own pace and style. We want everyone, regardless of their experience level, to enjoy the ride. Please read the ride descriptions carefully and choose an appropriate ride. Of course, all of our group rides require that you be properly attired with helmet, gloves and long pants. If you are unsure, email the ride coordinator for more information.
Even though we are a Triumph club, we welcome all brands. There are no fees or meetings. We have riders of all skill levels and bikes of all types. The steering committee plans and organizes the rides.
