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...
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...
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...
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...
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..
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...
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...
