Well what a ride it was today. We had a total of six (6) bikes and eight (8) riders. Those who were able to make the ride were Stan, Twan, John J, Steve & Bonnie, Norm H., Bev, and myself.
After our start at the Chevron we met up with Norm H. in Catalina. From there we headed up 77 to the 79 turnoff. Going north to Park Link Dr we headed west toward Picacho Peak where were turned onto the frontage road and went through Eloy and Casa Grande. After jumping on the Interstate for one exit we head back east toward Coolidge. Getting momentarily, the memory is the second thing to go, lost we finally made our way into Coolidge and then back on to route 79 south. We traveled about 20 miles to the Cadillac Chaparral Steakhouse where we had a great lunch and time to chat. Can’t beat a $12 Rib Eye Steak. After lunch it was back on the road south towards home. After a couple of guys needed to top off for gas we all split and went our separate ways. All in all a GREAT day of riding. Temps started out in the 50’s but soon climbed to the mid 70’s until after lunch when the temps were starting to go down into the upper 60’s. A total of 192 miles were ridden today.
