Was thinking after the parade breaks up I might take a flagged up ride to either the National Cemetery or Wesley Bolin Plaza at the State Capitol to pay some respects.

It's looking like it's supposed to be a beautiful day weather-wise.

 

I am with you brother I fly 3 big flags so I will flag up myself and be proud to ride to either with you.
There is the possibility of my wife and I being a little late to Denny's, I have to take her to Scottsdale that morning to have a blood draw, her appt. is at 8:30 but we have a call in to see if we can get it earlier but I will let you know, hope we have some more riders for this but will understand if this first one is small.

Anybody else interested in this first meet.

 

Boys and Girls
electricking has made a suggestion about going to Westworld to the Goodguy's show on the 19th. How about any of you that would like to ride with him contact him, I am booked on that date. Another ride I think we should plan is the Tortilla Flats ride that was suggested it's kind of short and have to go in and out the same road but we could add something to that. It's starting to get down there in temps in the north so maybe us Phoenixians could get together here and have our bros. in Tuscon lead us in a ride down there, I haven't been to Yuma I am up for a day ride to Yuma if our riders there will plan a cool ride when we get there. There are tons of options so i say we keep this alive and get a ride planned. doghair and I are going to meet at Denny's on Camelback just off of the 51 next Friday at 9:30 for breakfast then ride to watch the Veteran's Day Parade, come join us if you can.

I posted this idea in the Poll section.

Just a thought, Lunch sounds good to me. Remember if we are expecting riders from the outer fringe of AZ. Getting on the road to make a breakfast meet would mean a very early start. By doing a lunch at say 1PM should give riders 5-6 hrs of daylight.

Here's a link for some day rides. http://www.cyclerides.com/

 

That's what I was thinking also, getting to know everyone first so you can get a feel for who you ride with has always been a good idea. The weekend idea is always best for most. Meeting at a location that's biker friendly that has outside seating to accommodate a larger group. I've had meet's at places like The Salty Senorita before that has large outside seating. Someplace where you can move around to different table allowing you to mingle and get to know everyone without disrupting the establishment. I'm starting to get pumped about this idea, looking forward to meeting everyone.

 

Hey Cotton Hill I am glad you posted the link to cyclerides, I have ridden on some of his ride and like the way he lays them out.
I am going to throw something out for you all to consider, there is a bunch of you out there and I know you have some favorite places to ride. I use to be a Road Captain for a HOG Chapter in Reno and when it was our turn to lead a ride we planned it as far as meet time, place, and destination. I would like this to work out that way so one or two people don't get burned out on always putting things together. Maybe we throw out some dates and someone take that date and run that ride. It always worked out for us and we ended up with some great rides.
TUCCI that restaurant you named(Salty Senorita) tell us more about that maybe we can use it for our first official meet and greet.
What do all of you think?

My best wishes for your wife. I have some personal experience with the big C and wish her all the best. My prayers are with her.

 

Count me as a maybe...providing a favorable weather forecast for a ride down on Thursday and a ride home on Saturday, I live in the White Mountains...Show Low area. Weather permiting I might be able to ride down to meet you guys around 9:30 at the Denny's at 1601 E. Camelback Rd.
