Saturday's Ride

Just to clarify - you can order food at the restaurant and take it outside or have it inside or bring your own lunch.

Saturday, November 14th Ride

The ride will be to the Eloy Airport, where we can watch the parachute jumping.It is my understanding that we can order food at the restaurant or bring our own. See you Saturday at 9 AM.

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.
There will be a ride Sat 11/14/20, I'll miss it  I have a air/port run at 10 am. hope to see you all Wed.
We rode 145.1 miles with a laped time of 5 hours

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

Sat 10/31/20

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.
