On March 1st we had a Birthday Ride for Bill Calkins.  We meet @ Oracle & McGee Chevron and departed for Globe to meet up with a BK Member from Alberta V Rick Brown and his wife Ruth in Superior.  Rick & Ruth are staying Mesa in an RV Park.  They towed their 2016 Indian Roadmaster behind the RV.  Those who were at the Chevron were Stan Thibaut, Mick, Mike Proctor, Susan Wagner, Alan Stewart, Bil Calkins, John Chruscinski, Bruce Distler, and yours truly.  When we arrived in Winkleman we found out that US 60 was closed to traffic east and west do to dynamiting the highway during the morning hours.  We contacted Rick who drove down to Winkleman to meet us there.  Once there off we went up AZ 77 to Globe.  After a few wrong turns and finding restaurants closed we settled in @ El Rey’s Reynosa in Globe.  We were able to sit out side to enjoy the great Arizona weather and good Mexican fare.  After lunch we all headed back west toward 177 and Superior.  From there Rick & Ruth headed back to Mesa along with John.  The rest of us went down 177 back through Kearny and Winkleman and headed to our respective homes.  Here are photos from the ride.

Well we had our first dinner ride for 2016 @ McGraws Cantina.  We had a few members make the ride, John & Garnetti Falzone and their son, Alan Stewart & Susan Wagner, Bruce and Bonni Distler, and out president Stan & Patti Thibaut.  The weather was nice when we arrived but by the time we left the temps had dropped to 40 degrees.  It was pretty chilly riding back to the west side of town.  By the time I got home the temp had risen to 50.  Amazing how much the temps changed from one side of town to the other.
