Special Covid-19 Mission Guidelines:

Updated 8 March 2022

Based on the most current COVID-19 Prevention Guidelines: Protect Yourself and Your Family from COVID-19, and CDC Guidelines of 3 March 2022, going forward, the Lead Ride Captain for any mission will be responsible for determining whether PGR members will have to mask up or not. Please ensure that you have a mask with you, should the need arise, and respect the LRC’s decision in these matters.

Special Information:

PGR members should stage in the Walmart Parking lot right on Rt-7 (Brunswick) - can't miss it - At 10:45am.  PGR will then move as a group about a mile down the road to:

Brunswick Harley-Davidson

For PGR members who do not stage at the Wal-Mart location - it is most important that you enter the Brunswick Harley Davidson location into the large parking lot to the West of the store building - NOT the main entrance.
