And a good time was had by all!

January 13 turned out to be a perfect, beautiful, sunny day and one especially made for the BMMC Ladies Ride. We met up at the gas station in front of Cocomo Joe’s and headed out for a comfortable, leisurely ride down Cave Creek Rd., to Deer Valley to 7th St. to Happy Valley Rd. to 67th Ave. We went south on 67th back to Deer Valley west to 83rd Ave. and back up to Pinnacle Peak. We traveled west to N. Lake Pleasant Road and went north from there to cross Carefree Highway and up New River Rd. to I-17 and ended at Black Canyon City at the good old’ Rock Springs Café.

They were waiting for us with the table set and coffee waiting, which was welcomed. The weather was beautiful; however, there was definitely a chill in the air riding through the desert. What a fun sight to see 8 “biker chicks” walk in and sit down to enjoy each other’s company and good food.  And yes, some of us did eat pie (thanks Pam & Janell for sharing with me). Lynne was gracious enough to join us in her vehicle and had everything waiting for us when we arrived!

The ride back was easy. We jumped on I-17 south and took the Carefree Rd. exit east. Everyone split off from there depending upon their own final destination.

All in all, it was a beautiful day with a group of terrific BMMC ladies who rode well and had a good time getting better acquainted. What a compliment it was to lead a group like we had on Sunday.

Thanks Ladies, you made it a great ride and a good beginning for our 2008 Ladies Only Rides. It was a sincere pleasure riding with all of you.
