Saturday morning, April 19th,
forty-five motorcycles and fifty-one BMMC members gathered
for a new twist to our 3rd Saturday Ride. Hosts, Robin
Hayward and Bob Edgar not only delivered “perfect
motorcycle riding weather, but a great breakfast, and a
fun adventure exploring the old Vulture Gold Mine.”
The members met at the Arizona Game & Fish parking lot on
Carefree Highway, and all were in high spirits for a great
day of riding, eating, socializing, and making new
friends.
After Ride Captain, Robin Hayward, along with Ride
Captain, Todd Gerber gave a pre-ride briefing, five groups
departed for Wickenburg. The group’s first stop was at The
Gold Nugget Restaurant in Wickenburg where Robin and Bob
had made breakfast reservations for the group. The hungry
members were directed to a reserved room at the Golden
Nugget for a delicious hardy breakfast. At the pre-ride
briefing, Robin announced the club was picking up the
breakfast expenses for the group (another surprise perk).
There was quite a roar of chatter and laughter as members
visited and enjoyed one another’s company in the special
dining room.
Following a great breakfast, members gathered in the
restaurant parking lot for a quick pre-ride briefing and
group assignments prior to departure for the Vulture Gold
Mine. Upon arrival at the Vulture Mines, the members split
into small groups and enjoyed a walking self guided tour
of the old mine and its history. As the members completed
their tour, they could ride with the group back to
Phoenix, or select one of the alternative routes provided
by the hosts.
The participating members would like to convey their
sincere thanks and appreciation to Robin Hayward and Bob
Edgar for hosting this fun ride. Also, a special thanks to
Jim & Michelle Boomer and Todd Gerber for their assistance
in helping to plan the ride and for their assistance with
the pre-ride briefings and group assignments.
Also, a special thanks to our fantastic Ride Captains for
leading and sweeping the groups and for their commitment
and efforts in getting us all there safely. Of course,
thanks to all the members who supported this fun 3rd
Saturday Ride.
Also, thanks to Dave & Charlotte Hunter, Sharon Harris,
and Mike Wesnoski for the great photos |
