<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be fun to get a group of VA members together to do the <a href="http://www.solvangcentury.com">Solvang Century </a>on March 13th?  Some members have expressed an interest so it is a matter of trying to make it happen.</p>
<p>If you want to do the century, the first thing you need to do is to register for the ride on-line and reserve your spot.  If you plan to spend the night in or near Solvang, make your hotel reservation as soon as possible since space fills up very quickly.<br />
<span id="more-647"></span><br />
Please let Frank, the club president, know if you plan to do the century so he can get a list of participants together.  We can let the participants know in advance how many will be doing the ride and make arrangements to meet at the start line.</p>
<p>The ride is a lot of fun.  Having a group of familar faces will make it even more fun so I hope you can make it.</p>
