Director’s Corner
Nancy Hrigora
The weather has taken a toll on some of our
scheduled rides, not temps but wind. Weather
forecasters state that these gusty sand bringing
winds will continue. Just another factor to be aware
of when checking out ride conditions along with
any traffic alerts.
The NM & Region F Rally is this weekend. A
small group from our chapter will be making their
way to this function. A group from our chapter will
be involved with judging the Light Parade and Bike
show. This is to gain some experience before we
run the event in October at Lake Havasu District
Rally. Oh , by the way have you sent in your
registration form for this event yet? Please consider
attending and being involved at the function.
After the June 25th
meeting , the Chapter will go
dark until September 24th meeting. Impromptu
rides are still desirable , so if you are planning a day
trip , or longer , and would like company, send me
an email with all the details. I will gladly send out a
Ride Blast to the group for you.
REMINDER: NO MAY MEETING
BUT we are still recording SAFE MILES – email
April / May miles to [email protected]
Enjoy each ride ,for even a humdrum day can
have a breath-taking moment.
Chapter Safe Miles Program
Please remember to submit your miles each month at
the chapter meeting on the “sign in sheet” or email
them to Nancy Hrigora by the end of each month.
[email protected] All you have to send is your name and the number of
Safe miles you rode for what month. Odometer readings
are not required ( keep them for your own records)
Please put ‘SAFE MILES AZ-K ‘ in the subject line.
This makes it easier to identify your email.

THOUGHTS from MIKE
Submitted by Mike Hrigora
Is it good if a vacuum sucks ?
Why is the 3rd
hand on a watch called the second hand ?
IF a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would
we know?
Why do „tug‟ boats push barges ?
CHAPTER RIDES & PICTURES
MAY PHOTO OPS & RIDES
Mike and Nancy Hrigora attending the „Law
Tigers‟ Flat Track event in Phoenix. A first time for
the motorcycle racers to compete at the Paradise
Turf race track. The weather was warm , pitied the
fully geared up riders, but comfortable for the
spectators. It was interesting and fun to watch them
zig & zag , corner, and strategize their run.
THANKS , „Law Tigers‟ for sponsoring such a fun
event. THOUGHT -If they come back to PHX
maybe we could do a Chapter Ride???
MAY 21st Mt Lemmon Chapter Ride
Mike & Nancy , Jerry Jordan and Jon & Liz decided
a late breakfast in Summer Haven sounded good.
The group had a leisurely ride with little traffic up
the mountain. It was definitely cooler up there , but
green and lush and great views. At a stop we
noticed two climbers starting to scale the rock.
Mike wanted to know , how did the ropes get up
there to begin with. Once we got to our destination ,
we noticed we were not the only group there. Nice
warm eats ( got a bit chilly the last few miles) at
the Saw Mill Restaurant along with good
conversation. Then homebound, watching the
increasing traffic going up. Nice way to start the
day.
Who took the ropes up ?? and how??
