Well we had our first dinner ride for 2016 @ McGraws Cantina. We had a few members make the ride, John & Garnetti Falzone and their son, Alan Stewart & Susan Wagner, Bruce and Bonni Distler, and out president Stan & Patti Thibaut. The weather was nice when we arrived but by the time we left the temps had dropped to 40 degrees. It was pretty chilly riding back to the west side of town. By the time I got home the temp had risen to 50. Amazing how much the temps changed from one side of town to the other.
Well another year has come and gone and another Palm Spring Ride is history. Frank Brunetti, his friend Mark, and myself made the ride to Palm Springs along with the many other chapters making up the SWC.
