We had 6 bikes and 10 riders ready for the ride to Mammoth. 2 others decided on a shorter ride to the Florence cafe. We headed out through Superior, down the Copper Corridor to Winkleman. There was a long wait for the light to change at the bridge construction. with only one lane open. We arrived at the Mi Pueblto restaurant a little earlier than expected, but they soon had tables set up for us. The restaurant had been updated and modernized since the last time we were there. They had an extensive menu of items to choose from. We soon were served and ready to head back through Florence. We took a short detour to Catalina for fuel, and then the problems began... First Dennis' bike would not start after fueling, and after some troubleshooting. it was decided to call a tow truck. Then Garry's bike wouldn't start! It was determined he had a loose battery connection, and after tightening, we were soon on our way, with Dennis waiting for the tow truck. They transported his bike to Superstition Harley for him, and he arrived home about 5PM. The five of us got back to GV about 2:45, having traveled 185 miles.
There will be a Road Captains meeting on Monday, December 30th in the Hopi Room at 4 PM.
Next Saturday's ride TBD.
Merry Christmas, Everyone!
