April is known as the best month to look up to the skies and watch meteor showers, the start of warmer weather and super blooms! But this year on April 8 there was a total solar eclipse . In California we only saw a partial eclipse which was not even noticed. I gazed into the sun with my Solar Eclipse glasses and was able to see the partial eclipse but after a couple of glances it wasn’t too exciting. So, If you miss this eclipse the next one will be in 2044. Hmmm where will I be? Finally, it didn’t rain on our April monthly ride. We had 13 riders and rode highway 49 to snow along Rawhide Road to CA-108. Enjoyed lunch at 50s Roadhouse in Knights Ferry. Good company, nice roads, and excellent weather. This month we’ll have a tech day “fixing a flat”. If you plan to attend, please register on the event calendar. This is a hands-on event. You will need to bring your own fix flat kit and we will provide tires for you to practice on. Place: TBD by how many register. April 26-28 is the “Coastal Classic to Morro Bay” planned by Bob Rasters. It looks like 10 will be attending. This is a fun event with a great ride to the coast, and yummy food. The survey was emailed to all members in March, and we had 55 of our 151 members complete the survey. Their names were placed into a drawing for a Susie’s breakfast certificate and the winner was Ralph Duff. Woohoo! Following our May 4th club meeting is our Memorial poker run. Ken will be planning a route through the foothills ending at our host Mike Ledbetter’s house, with lunch prepared by Fred. Fred will be fixing his ‘World Famous Fajitas’. There is a registration fee of $10 which includes lunch and the first poker hand. See event calendar for more information. The weather is getting better so it’s time to prep your motorcycle with new tires, maintenance, battery, new seat and some bling ⭐ . Safe riding!
