Quartzsite Arizona

Kick stands up at 7:30am from QT on Country Club near the 60.  It was a 300 mile ride with 11 members, 2 friends and 11 bikes.  It was pretty chilly in the morning but on the way home it warmed up to 75 -80 degrees.  Quartzsite is quite interesting; it is somewhat windy and full of Snowbirds, RV's, Gems/stones/beads, banners & flags flapping everywhere and flea markets. 

On the ride were members:  NINJA, HOLLYWOOD, OTHER, DIABLO, CRASH, OUTHOUSE, #5, TRAPPER, ROOSTER, DAN THE MAN, FROSTY and friends; SLO-POKE (oh sorry, that's MR. SLO-POKE), and VANDAL.
Diablo, #5 and Outhouse

Tonopah was our first pit stop


Crash, Ninja, and Hollywood







Getting back on I-10

It was a great day for a ride!

Once we got to Quartzsite we headed to get some breakfast (where else????).  Here's Trapper and Ninja trying to warm Crash up.  Once inside the cafe, all ceiling fans had to be turned off!  The hot coffee got her a little bit warmed up.

Last pit stop before heading back to Chandler! 

Lots of traffic on I-10 heading home.

Here's Hollywood, Ninja, Outhouse, Crash, and Diablo.  So sorry that there are not 13 people in this picture.  7 people had to leave Quartzsite by the time we emerged from the "BEAD TENT".  It was a fun day!
Hope to see you on the next ride.... GOLDFIELD
