Arizona's Premiere Rider's Club

A group of AZRATPackers got together to ride SCMA affiliate the Shamrock’s annual St Patrick’s Day Ride on March 17th and 18th. Our group got together the day before and rode out to Barstow, CA for a night on Route 66. Continue reading “Shamrock’s St. Patrick’s Day Ride Recap”
This month, we decided to do something a little different. We thought it would be fun to combine our 2nd Sunday get together with a fun activity. Todd Gilles, one of our board members, thought it would be fun to meet at 18 Degrees which is connected to the Ice Den for lunch and then a session of public skating at the rink.

This month’s meeting & dinner was held in the West Valley for a change giving me a welcomed short drive home. I did say drive! Kudos to Jerry Fuentes for being the only member to ride his bike to dinner! As you can imagine, it was a cold (for us in Arizona) evening dipping into the high 40’s.

Our first ride of the year is in the books! 33 riders and passengers set off from GO AZ Motorcycles in Scottsdale down the 101 and east on US 60. We encountered a little bit of slow going out past Apache Junction because of the Renaissance Festival. Once we passed the turkey leg eaters,

We visited the West Valley for our February 2nd Sunday Breakfast. Located near University of Phoenix Stadium and Westgate on Northern Ave, west of the 101, the Lone Spur Café proved to be an excellent location for breakfast!
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the traditional January Club Meeting & Dinner at the George & Dragon Pub this year because I was in Las Vegas for the weekend. I always look forward to this dinner as it’s the first place I attended an AZRATPack dinner way back in 2006. At least though, I was doing something motorcycle related!
