Arizona's Premiere Rider's Club
The Mid-Year Meatfest is to celebrate the half way point of the riding season for us and since we have steered in a different direction with our end of year banquet, it’s a way to keep Meatfest on the calendar.
For the second time, we’ve held our Mid-Year Meatfest at Serra Gaucha in Peoria where we enjoyed a Brazilian BBQ feast!

Welcome to the Board Shain!
This breakfast in June was full of surprises for me as I was not sure if members would be willing to ride on what was an Extreme Heat Warning weekend here in Arizona. A few days before Saturday I checked registrations and we had 3, me being one of them. I called the restaurant any way & in my optimistic view I let them know that a group of about 10 people would be showing up for breakfast on Saturday morning. Also, to request that we each have our own separate check rather than one for the table and they said no problem. The other inquiry was to ensure they offered more than just the Breakfast burrito that was listed on their website and I was assured they had a full breakfast menu.

Another great trip along Route 66 in the books! This year we took an easterly heading into New Mexico which we’ve only done once before. Though we didn’t log in many miles on actual Route 66, which is very difficult in this part of Arizona, we did see many of the sites people traveling the Mother Road would have veered off to see plus we managed to avoid I-40 for the most part!

Tonight’s dinner was a combination of catching up with motorcycle friends, talking about old times and some Cuban culture.
It was a fairly warm ride over to Peoria & 43rd Ave where Cuban Foods is located. I left a little early to visit Sam Ash music store less than a mile away. When I arrived at the restaurant, Rodney, Jo and Brian were already there with our table set up.

It has come to my attention that there was a bit of confusion and some disorganization at the start of the Southern Arizona Tour. I would like to re-iterate the procedures that has already been established by the club’s Board of Directors for the start of each ride.

After a late night out with a few drinks, it was a difficult task to roll out of bed this morning to head over to Surprise to Jim’s Burgers & Eggs. Normally, I probably would have slept in, but since the chair of this event, Dean is off to the SCMA gathering in Rocky Point with a few others, I stepped up to be the point person for this morning’s breakfast. So, I needed to be there!
