Well we had our 2nd annual Rev’s Birthday ride on Saturday March 4th.  We had a total of 8 bikes with 9 riders make the journey to Superior, lunch as Los Hermanos in Superior, and then back down through Florence to our respective homes for a round trip of about 190 miles.  It was GREAT weather, starting out at about 60 degrees and by the time we got home it was in the upper 70’s.  Great riding weather.  Here are the names of those who made this trip: Bill aka Rev, Dave, Norm & Mary, Ken, Bud, Bruce, Frank, and yours truly.  Here are pictures of our journey.

We had our monthly dinner ride this month @ Famous Daves. We had a GREAT turnout for our February dinner ride.  We had 18 members and family attend dinner.  This was pretty impressive given that it was raining AND several members rode on two wheels.  Al (Uncle Fester) rode in from Bisbee.

Here are those who made the ride: Stan & Patti, Bill & Antji, Mel & Marsha, Jay & Yvonne, Bruce & Bonnie, Jim K, Al (Uncle Fester), Mike and Anita, Dave & Connie, Gary, and yours truly.  The food was good as always.  The light rain that fell during dinner did not deter those who rode on two wheels.  They just put on the rain gear and headed home after a great dinner and conversation.  Here are a few photos from the dinner ride:

Well it’s time for the “Rev’s” aka Bill Calkins 1nd Annual Birthday ride on Saturday March 4th.  His birthday is actually March 1st but because of our monthly dinner ride on the 28th of February he has decided to push it back to the weekend.

So on Saturday March 4th we will meet up at the Chevron Oracle and Magee @ 9:00 a.m. with Kickstand UP @ 9:30 sharp.  We will ride north up 77 through Oracle Mammoth to the 177 split in Winkelman head out past Ray Mine to Superior where we will stop for lunch.  After lunch we will head west on 60 to 79 and then left down 79 through Florence and Florence Junction to 77 and back home.

I hope many of you can make this trip with us to celebrate Bills’ Birthday AND the fact he will have ONLY 52 more working days left before he retires.
