Due to the stay at home order issued by Governor Ducy, we’ve cancelled all April events. This includes 2nd Sunday Breakfast, Alien Abduction Meet & Greet and the Alien Abduction Tour. You can view the Governor’s announcement here.
These are some interesting times to say the least! I hope this message finds you and all of your families in good health. After cancelling our March General Membership Meeting & Dinner due to the current health situation, I’d like to address what the plan is moving into April and our events.
What a beautiful day for a ride! I started the morning getting the VFR out of the garage for some much needed exercise! I rolled up the 303 to I-17 North for a quick one exit romp and then off on Carefree Highway.
As I approached Harold’s, I saw that there were a lot of bikes parked up front. Low and behold a large group of us had gotten there early and were all bench racing in the parking lot as we waited for Harold’s to open up at 8.
It was a chilly morning for a ride out to breakfast. The full moon hanging in the Western sky was gorgeous. There was an excellent turnout with some 25 people showing up for breakfast. The restaurant accommodated us by putting us all back in one section towards the back of the restaurant.
Our first event of the 20’s was breakfast at Harlow’s Café in Tempe. Many braved the cold weather for great food and conversation!
Today’s drizzley weather made most of us that had the energy after yesterdays ride show up in their 4-wheeled vehicles save for Earl and Mike who rode into downtown Phoenix for our 2nd Sunday Breakfast at the Fâme Caffe on Central Ave.
This month’s breakfast location was recommended by Melinda. It’s 0nly steps away from where she works though she had the day off! Goody’s Cafe in Mesa set us up in a separate room for our large group!
This month’s breakfast was in a scenic neighborhood in the Estrella Mountains in Goodyear at the Lakeside Grill. Nestled along the shore of the community lake, the Lakeside Grill was very accommodating to our fairly large group, but provided friendly quality service and great food!
The September breakfast meetup was held at the Scottsdale Breakfast Club and we had 18+ people join in on the morning. We had more than RSVP’ed forcing some to sit at any open table as this location is typically very busy. Sometimes we sit on the open patio but today was just warm enough to sit inside.
Today was promising to be either really hot or “monsoony” when I left the house on my Honda. The ride up was somewhat cool and overcast, but at least dry and not very humid which made for a nice ride up through Wickenburg and into Congress for this morning’s 2nd Sunday Breakfast at Nichol’s West, a perennial favorite of the club’s.
