Arizona's Premiere Rider's Club
This year, we rode our annual Route 66 Tour from West to East. I believe the club has done it this way in the past, but this was the first time for me. Day 1 took us from our start point at GO AZ Motorcycles Peoria to our destination for the night at the Tropicana in Laughlin with a lunch stop in Kingman at El Palacio.

So, this one didn’t turn out like expected. It started at about 2:00 PM that I called our original location for our monthly Dinner Meeting, the Watershed in Tempe to make a reservation for us. The answering machine said, “If you’d like to make a reservation, please let us know how many, what time, your name and phone number and we’ll call you back.” I followed the instructions and never received a call back. As my day progressed, I got busy with work and was unable to call back to confirm.
We were approached via our Meetup group by the community events organizer of Spectrum at Val Vista, a community in Gilbert if we could provide bikes for their community event which they were calling Bikes, Blues & BBQ. This was set to be a community event that featured a couple of food trucks, a couple of bands and a bike show with a people’s choice award.

Big Earl’s is a Cave Creek staple located in a converted gas station offering great food and comfortable outdoor seating that is easy to spend hours socializing and of course eating.
Though the AZ 3FC Posse didn’t ride together this year, there were a few AZRATPackers that made the journey to Abbotsford, BC to start this year’s 3 Flags Classic and to eventually make the finish in Rocky Point.

The summer heat may have kept many off their bikes, but it didn’t stop us from showing up for the August Dinner Meeting. As an added bonus, we were especially happy to have some of the AZRATPack kids join us!
Every year I write up the description of this ride, I always include the words “challenging loop.” Sometimes I get flak for using this phrase describing a trip to Sedona, but if you factor in the time of the year, you can get various challenges like, rain, cold, heat, sleet, and haboobs. Over the years of putting this ride on together with our sponsor, GO AZ Motorcycles, we’ve experienced all of the above! This year though, we were met with sunny skies and with temperatures that were not as hot as they could have been. Though, this year, the words “challenging loop” still applied!

Though there were some showers early in the morning, nine of us made the perfectly dry, but cool trek to Wickenburg for our monthly breakfast at the Horseshoe Café.
Our monthly 2nd Sunday Breakfast in Prescott created us with some welcome 75 degree temperatures along with some clouds in the sky! So much better than the 112 degrees currently in Buckeye! The weather forecast all week called for a 40% chance of rain up north. Monsoon season in Arizona is upon us!
