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.
I’d like to clear up a little confusion as to how and why to RSVP to any of our events. Here are some guidelines for you:

This morning’s ride to Saguaro Lake started for me in Buckeye with temps in the mid 70’s. I was very excited to take the Honda across town because of the great weather! I wasn’t disappointed! I left my garage at about 7:00 AM for the 65 mile trek across town. I wasn’t in a real rush because I had gotten a report that the Lakeshore Restaurant opened at 9, not at our breakfast meet time of 8.
Our yearly Mother’s Day visit to the Rock Springs Café started with the best weather for a romp up Loop 303 to I-17 and up to Rock Springs. The combination of the cool temperature, overcast skies with the predawn showers made for a nice, crisp smell in the air. Motorcycles are happiest with this type of weather!
This month’s breakfast was at Joe’s Farm Grill on Ray Road in Gilbert I’ve been there several times, as I don’t live far and it never disappoints, always good food and of course, great company.
