Sept 29, 2021 – Wickenburg to Yarnell
I will lead a ride from Wickenburg to Yarnell for lunch. We will stage at the Wickenburg Rodeo grounds by 0800 hrs and leave by 0830 hrs. We will stop at various spots along the way. It will be a nice moderate pace. Be considerate of the other riders. The ride is limited to 6 buggies due to lunch capacity.
RIDE DESCRIPTION
On Wednesday Sept 29, 2021, at 0830 hrs we will ride to Yarnell. Hoping to have lunch in Yarnell if the restaurants are open. We should be back at the staging area by 4:30pm-5:00pm (maybe sooner). Bring water and drinks for trail. No alcohol or other altering substance on the ride. You are responsible for your behavior on and after the ride.

Bookings
Registration for this event is closed.
Who is leading this ride, and how many miles round trip? How is it this ride is fully booked 5 minutes after it was posted?
Thanks
The member who prepared this Ride-Event did not use the proper “booking form” for the Ride.
I also had to correct the “Maximum Spaces per Booking” box, to allow only 6 “buggies”, as specified by the ride leader and creator of this ride.
It is extremely important that whenever a ride event is created, please double check your work and also place your name and phone number on the ride info, so that members can call you.
Thank you RENE!!
You’re welcome Steve. I enjoyed this ride immensely when LindaJ led it, then Smily. Terrain was great to ride, the rest stop at Stanton was exciting to visit, especially the haunted houses etc.. TomM will usually take the route over large and huge rocks and boulders, just to terrify me.
The restaurant is small but they have outdoor seating too. It’s a favorite hangout with bikers. I wish I still had my quad.
Have fun at the ride!
Ed Cooney is leading the ride. I tried for over an hour to correct the number of buggies. I don’t have any idea how it got closed so fast
The number of miles and approximate time is in the narrative
I did put my name and phone number in the form I filled out.

No problem Ed. Bring your laptop to the next meeting and I’ll show you where to place the “correct numberof buggies” count. Thanks for leading this ride.
We will be having lunch at Gilligans Pizza and Bar. I checked the menu on line and sandwiches run about $9.00 to $12.00. They have pizza, wings, salad and sandwiches. Or you can also bring a lunch with you.
The Ranch House is not open on Wed.
