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

About the Blue's Angels

The “Blue’s Angels” was formed in 1995 by John H. Kelty. The name of the group came from John’s original 1993 1500 cc blue Goldwing which he named “Blue”. The "Angels" was chosen because all the riders are all such good little boys with their toys, and most of all because we wanted prayer involved as we rode and socialized.

Blue’s Angel's started with six bikes from the Golden Vista Resort in Apache Junction, AZ. and four from West Phoenix. There are now over 40 active, enthusiastic guys and girls. Every time “Blue” met a new person at Golden Vista he asks “why don't you buy a motorcycle?” Many did!

Blue’s Angels strive for comradeship while doing a fairly dangerous hobby and enjoying every minute of the time we ride. Blue loved people and wanted them to all feel the joy of riding as he did.

In the Spring of 2012, Blue handed the leadership of the group to Bill (Dollar Bill) Barrington who did so with the mutual agreement that it remained "Blue's Angels" and that while he would coordinate the rides and the general direction of the riders, John Kelty remained "THE MAN"

Unfortunately after over 20 years of riding nearly 250,000 miles, Blue succumbed to cancer on November 11, 2014. Up until his last days he loved to ride and it was his hope, as well as his families, that the Angels remain together and continue riding and loving the open road as much as Blue did.

The Angels have no specific restrictions of membership. The only requirement would be that members maintain a safe bike. All riders are encouraged to complete a motorcycle safety course. To be an official member one must invest $12.00 to buy a Blue's Angels Cap. After that huge expense, there are no dues or fees.

The main goals are:

- to keep the group going forever

- to keep it simple and informal

- to keep the prayers flowing for all in need
