August 20 - Chompie's

 

As it looks like Sunday might be a bit cooler than it has been, I thought maybe we could take a run up the Dreamy Draw and hit Chompie's after a loop through Paradise Valley. 

As it happens, Richard, Steve and the 4's are planning on Chompie's as well. I guess great minds think alike. 

That is, if the hurricane allows us to ride. I see the price of gas has spiked, since SoCal will have to be shutting down refineries in advance of the storm. Joy.

Rock on...

August 13 - Scott's Generations

 

Again we have a forecast of 107 degrees for Sunday, so the nearly circular loops will continue. Though I am running out of restaurants near the park. This week, it's Scott's Generations at 7th St and Glendale. Someday it's gonna cool off. 

Richard and the 4's will be westward-bound for The Cracked Egg at 35th Ave and also Glendale. 

Robbie Robertson passed away today, here is a song from Martin Scorsese's film "The Last Waltz", a combination concert film/documentary of The Band's last performance on 11/25/76 at The Winterland in San Francisco. Shine on you crazy diamond, Robbie...

August 6 - Scramble

 

Holy crap, another 116 degree day coming up Sunday. So, again, a somewhat shortened ride, stopping at Scramble on 7th St and Mountain View, so it will be a short dash home for everyone. Richard, Steve and the 4's will be heading south to Whatsaburger on McDowell. 

Rock on...

July 30 - Breakfast Club

 

Ok, until this heat abates at least a little bit, I'm going to stick to restaurants close to the park. So this week, it's the Breakfast Club at the Biltmore. 

Richard, Steve and the 4's are off to the International House of Pancakes, so be sure to bring your passport. 

Rock on...

July 23 - Zookz

 

It's going to be another scorcher on Sunday, so let's stick with the plan of a short ride and stop at Zookz, so everyone's ride home is a bit shorter. 

Richard, Steve and the 4's will be heading to Joe's Diner

Here's a cheezy 80's video from Bananarama. Yes, it truly is a Cruel Summer. Rock on..

July 16 - Luci's at the Orchard

 

OK, so it's hot. I see 117 for Sunday, so let's go about this a little different. How about a nice longer ride around Arcadia and end up close to Granada at Luci's. At least the ride home after breakfast will be short in the oppressive heat. Sound like a plan? 

Richard, Steve and the 4's will be visiting Country Boys in North Phoenix, most likely via the Dreamy Draw, I would assume. 

Rock on...
