April 30 - Randy's

 

April 2nd was the last time I saw you all, really missing the Sunday rides. Perhaps that's why I am posting this already on Monday, thinking about where to go all day today. Per a suggestion, let's try Randy's in Scottsdale- remember, BRING CASH they don't take cards of any kind. 

Last week's Phoenix Dreamy Draw photos showed a long stretch of finished concrete pathway. So it's getting close, though not likely for this weekend. I assume they'll announce some kind of official ribbon cutting before the sweaty masses (us)  take it over. 

Richard  and the 4's are planning on visiting the Ranch House Grille, always tasty. 

Rock on...

April 22/23 - PMBC Meeting / Need a Leader

 

Both myself and Gary are otherwise engaged this weekend, but I wanted to point out that on Saturday, PMBC will be holding the quarterly membership breakfast at Philly's Sports Grill, which has agreed to open early. Richard will be leading a ride from Granada Park, leaving at 7:30 to the restaurant. Here's a link to the PMBC website regarding the breakfast, remember that it's FREE for club members (but bring a few bucks for a tip). I wish I was going, but I have a previous commitment. 

So on Sunday, you'll be on your own. I promise to be back on the 30th. Rock on...

April 16 - Riders Choice

 

I am still recovering from the illness that started last Sunday and caused me to miss the ride. I am on the mend, but I'm not up to strength yet. So I'll leave it up to whomever shows up, and perhaps take in one of the places Esther texted me of possible destinations. 

I wouldn't mind a text Sunday telling me where you might be going, as I would like to join you for a nosh. But riding up Cave Creek is NOT in any sort of recovery plan! 

This song is from the same 1972 record as last weeks annoying video. "Something/Anything" - Todd Rundgren recorded by himself, all instruments, all vocals (except for the live in studio recordings on side 4). I've been a fan for 50 years, yes Todd is God.

Rock on...

April 9 - Breakfast Club

 

Finally, spring is here! It looks to be a beautiful WARM morning Sunday. Richard, Steve and the 4's are off to The Burg this Sunday, and Mike and the 3's are heading to Breakfast Club in Scottsdale. 

Rock on...

April 2 - Cracked Egg

 

Today is the day- our start time moves up to 6:30 summer hours today. First up is The Cracked Egg in Glendale. I have not seen Richard and Steve's schedule for the month, but will post it as soon as I get it. 

Here's a group that was popular in the midwest back in the 80's. You may not remember it, but this is what the song was referring to. Rock on... 

Mayhem on the Freeway

 

Check this out, apparently the lug nuts sheared off this truck, and launched an SUV into the heavens. 

This is also why you don't dawdle when passing someone- get past them as soon as you can, as you never know who is actually maintaining their vehicle, and who's just driving it until the wheels fall off (literally!). 

March 26 - Scramble

 

This Sunday will be the very LAST 7:30 AM start. In April, we move to the summertime hours with a  6:30 start. So enjoy sleeping in this last time. 

Richard and the 4's are hitting the IHOP on Central, so be sure to bring your passports. Mike and the 3's are going to Scramble in Scottsdale this week. 

Here's one of my favorite bands, you rarely run into a group where all five members are great songwriters too. This is a tune that should resonate with all of us these days. Rock on...
