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...

July 9 - First Watch

 

I have returned from the Land of Cheese and Ice Cream (and also Brandy Old-Fashions!). It was a great 4th, sitting on our friends deck 30 yards from Lake Michigan, and watching the fireworks in Manitowoc. A nice break from work, and I'm trying to finish the week that way, but I see the tickets piling up in my queue. 

This week, let's head up to First Watch in Scottsdale on the Dreamy Draw. Yeah, it's gonna be hot, but at least the ride home is mostly level then back down the Draw. While the 4's will be off to Moon Valley Cafe.

This came up on shuffle on my phone whilst sitting in a Southwest torture chair from Milwaukee to Phoenix yesterday, so I thought I'd post it. When D.Boon of the Minutemen was killed in an accident on I-10 in west Arizona returning to California after a gig, the other members founded this band, fIREHOSE. Rock on...
