April 17 - Scramble

 

Richard, Steve and the 4's are heading to Randy's in Scottsdale this week.

As it is Easter Sunday, the brunch crowd pretty much everywhere will be filling the restaurants. So I've chosen a place we should be able to get into easily, and even enjoy the morning on their patio. So put on your Easter bonnet and come with us to Scramble at 24th and Camelback. We may even have a surprise participant! 

One thing I want to mention, I will not be available to lead on AT LEAST April 24 and May 1. Should anyone want to pick a place for the 3's, I'll be happy to post it here, and I'll post when it looks like I can join you again.

So, in the meantime, rock on...

City Of Phoenix To Update The Bicycle Master Plan

Gary passed this on to me, looks like a good opportunity for we cyclists to let the city know what's important to us.

The Street Transportation Department has launched the Active Transportation Plan Survey. Please take a moment to complete the survey and distribute it within your networks.

 

Phoenix Active Transportation Plan Survey

The Active Transportation Plan is an update to the Bicycle Master Plan (2014). The project survey is an important tool to gather information and help guide how we design and implement active transportation improvements across the city. The planning team wants to hear from everyone who uses Phoenix’s streets, not just those who walk and bike.  It takes approximately 15 minutes and all answers are anonymous.

 

The survey can be accessed in English and Spanish here: https://www.phoenix.gov/streets/atp

April 10 - Butters Pancakes and Cafe

 

Richard and many of the 4's are headed down to Tucson for the semi-annual GABA Bike Swap. If you're game to join them, please reach out to Richard. 

I've wanted to try a Butters Pancakes & Cafe, but they are always busy. Since we've changed to the 6:30 start, we might be able to get in without too much of a wait. 

I will warn you that I have a late dinner Saturday, and I'm hoping that it doesn't go too late. If it does, there is a possibility I'll sleep through the alarm. 

Here's one of my all-time favorite Canadian bands, in honor of the nice folks Gary and I rode with for a bit on Sunday. Rock on, eh... 

April 3 - Biscuits Cafe

 

First of all, the start time is now 6:30 AM, so set your alarm clock accordingly! 

Richard and the 4's are visiting Oink this week, and the 3's will be heading up the canal paths to Biscuits Cafe.

Rock on...

March 27 - Scramble

 

This is it, the very LAST 7:30 AM start. Come April, we change to 6:30. Richard and the 4's will be heading to Whataburger, and the 3's will be meandering over to Scramble at Lincoln and Scottsdale. I'm sure it will involve the greenbelt. 

Here's an oldie but a goodie. Rock on...

March 20 - Breakfast Club (Cityscape)

 

Richard and the 4's are going to Mi Pueblo at Metrocenter this week. I was looking for something new and different for the 3's, and came across the Breakfast Club at Cityscape downtown. It looks roomy enough inside, and also has an outside patio, so let's give it a try. It seems to have a fair number of good reviews. 

Rock on...

March 13 - Randy's

 

I'm impatiently waiting for April when our start time moves to 6:30, as it will then be much easier to get into smaller and more popular restaurants. This week, Richard and the 4's are heading to Irma's Kitchen, and the 3's will be off to Randy's in Scottsdale. Might be nice enough to sit outside too. 

Rock on...
