Default AZ Ride #12 - Oct. 18th

We are doing the Valley Loop. 426 miles, do all or part of it. Everyone is welcome to join.

http://rideplanner.harley-davidson.c...4&locale=en_US

We will be starting on the east side, meeting at the junction of 79 and 60 (Florence Junction). Meeting time is 7AM. There isn't really anything at this intersection so go north on 79 about .1 miles you will find a large parking area, we will meet there.
We will do the loop in a clockwise direction to keep the sun mostly at our backs. Planned stops include:

Somewhere for breakfast (Florence or before 7AM meeting?)
The Desert Rose (location #6 on the ride plan)
The Hideaway Grill (location #10 on the ride plan, 10 year anniversary celebration!!)
http://www.hideaway-usa.com/pages/indexcc_1.html
Jake's Corner (location #11 on the ride plan)

Everyone can meet up or drop off where they need to. If you want to catch us somewhere on the route, let us know where and we will estimate the time we will be there. I think Joe will be in charge of that

I think this ride has some great roads and great stops, should be a good time.

I'm in.

Like I mentioned in the other thread, I'll make the whole loop but stay in Globe Saturday night and run the Coronado Trail on Sunday up to Alpine and back down through Globe to the valley. Anyone is welcome to join me for that ride.

Joe,

That's not the whole loop, you will be about 40 miles short you slacker.

Joe's a motorcycle riding slacker... now that's funny.

As I said earlier, I won't be able to make this ride... too bad, too, sounds like a good time! You all be safe, and I'll see you next time!!

Hay everyone, not going to believe this my front fender came off... (Just kidding) I can make this ride. Looks like it will be lots of fun. As for breakfast there’s is a great place in Coolidge, and its biker friendly. See you at the junction, 7am on Saturday.

If you know a place in Coolidge for breakfast, that sounds good to me. Should be there around 8AM I would imagine.

Default I'm IN !!!

Count me in. I'm going to meet up with everyone in Maracopa. If anyone else from the west side who wants to jump in I was thinking of leaving the Dennys's on Camelback & the 101. I am planning on running down 51st ave to Maracopa.
