Sat 1/28/20

Good morning everyone,  We had a good show of rider for a ride to Globe and the Copper Hen, pulse 5 r1ders went to two different parks,and 7 riders enjoy a good meal inside. We shared two tables with 3 at one, and four at another. There was a few people in the other two room, so we shared our room with 5 other at a table over 6 feet away. Everyone wore  masks in an out of the restaurant. The cooks and waitress had masks on too. 

         We all joined up after eating, 5 bikes went around by way of Winkelmen, and three went straight home the way we went. The five bikes made a stop at the shell,for a short break and then headed home. We traveled 157.7 miles. I pulled in my lot about 1 22 pm.

Don't forget the road Capitans meeting Tue Dec 1th at 4 00 pm. in the Pma room at the south Laundry building. We got to make our Dec schedule for our next rides.

Ride 11'/25/20

Today  I had 11 bikes and 16 riders. we saddled up about 10 min. early, for our ride to We Ko pa for breakfast. They stop servicing at 10 30 AM.  We got there in time , by taking the 202 Gilbert rd to the 87. We all had a good breakfast . To head home we went back by the way of the Bush/hy-way.  We saw 3 groups of wild horses, two near the off ramp and 1 on the left after we got on the Bush rd.  Traffic was a little heavy for a while.Then our group started breaking off on the 60. We pulled into our park at11 35. It was a short ride today so the women and men could get ready for Thanksgiving. Only 73.8 miles. Sat. ride will be the Copper Hen and a park in Globe area. 

         Happy Thanksgiving to all Blues Angles. and be safe

First I want to thank Duane for being at the station. We did have a good showing for the ride. there was 10 m/c 13 riders. the weather was a little chilly About 46 when we got briefed by Duane it warned up a little on the way to Winkelman,  There we spilt into  6 pikes stopped at maria's for breakfast and 4s went on to the golf course for their break. After about 40 min. we joined up at Maria's to headed home. We made a stop at the Shell. The weather got warner.

I thank Duane for the pictures. Now I know who to show me how to get the darn pictures off my phone and on to my emails.

Wed 11/4/20

We had a great showing Wed, There was 19 bikes and two or three lady passengers I think. We talk some and Duane introduced our new riders.  We divide into two groups. The ones who wanted to eat, and the other who that packed a lunch.

Frist was Duane leading the larger,  group of 10 bikes , with Dan  as his tail. I helped line them up.  And off they went To Winkelmen.  Then I line up the Beakfast group of 7 bikes. Dennis and Mary lead with Jay on the tail. I had called Sunnyside up to check if they were wearing Mask, the answer was yes. they even had us in one of the back rooms, with 4 at one table and  5 at two table together. We all though it worked out great.. all went well. We then headed home by Winkelmen for fuel and then up  to Superior, on to the 60 and home. I had !84.2 miles on my speed-o and got home at 1:30.

If anyone has any idea for Sat let us know. Also if you know if the Airport in Paysen is open and if they wear Masks.

Wednesday Ride

Hello Everyone

We're back in Arizona from Wisconsin for the winter months. It seems like we just left!

I talked to Paul this morning how it was going with the rides. It sounds like some of the riders are comfortable going to certain restaurants, while others are not, including myself. So we decided going forward we would split into 2 groups, restaurant or no restaurant. The no restaurant group can pack a lunch and we will find a park where we can practice "social distancing"

Hope to see you on Wednesday

Duane

Hi gang, We had a good turn out, with 9 bikes and 11 riders. Jay was thereafter his cancer, He was doing fine, but wanted a short ride, so Jim B and I decided to ride with him.  Six bikes went on to Globe, around the lake to 87 and home. While Jay's  little  group went threw Florence and on to Coolidge to Tag for coffee and Engish muffin, We were disappointed , when we  walked in. We were the only ones with masks. So I guess we will have to mark Tags off our list until things get back to normal.  Maria's and Petro and Crackle Barrel look like the only places big enough for a group of 10 or less will be safe. Not sure about Sunny Side up or Paysen Air Port. 

 Dan Leeper traded his Honda 700hs for a 2014 H/D. It looks like it is brand new. Now Chris can ride in confront, Welcome Dan and Chris.

Our little group got home at 12:30 only 78.6 miles on my speed-o. Sorry no times or stops for the other group. Rember starting Wed 4th, we will met at 9:00 at the station.
