Yeah? Where? I might be out there in a few weeks (one day business meeting) but might have the time to squeeze in a custard.Originally Posted by CorsairMac

Kalifornia is defiinitely lacking in frozen custard selection, now the cheese. . .
as for Frozen Custard??......mighty tasty treat. I used to have them mix lemon and marshmallow with the custard and man - oh man - the thought is almost enough to make me break restrictions, get sicker than a dog but love every bite!!!
No frozen custard in Abq - but there is Phx!!!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Jant!!!! Helppppppp
when I lived there - there was a frozen custard place in Chandler. I think (it's been 6 yrs) it was on Ray right off Chandler Blvd! They actually started selling the lemon/marshmallow combo as a "standard" flavour!!! The place was decked out like a 50s diner, family owned and fun fun fun!! All the Harley ppl would stop there after our rides!! Originally Posted by SadieKate

toasty indeed
Hey nuthatch!
I just saw your post. I need to read this place more thoroughly
It sure was toasty that weekend wasn't it? My friend's bike computer read anywhere between 103-111 on the road. Needless to say we stopped at every rest stop. Sunday morning was refreshingly cool compared to Saturday but jeez around 10 we were right back in it.
I agree it was a great ride, very well organized. I plan on going again next year. 5 of us started on the century loop, but 2 headed back a few miles into it. I don't really know how I did 100 miles that day. I'm so proud of my one friend who just got into biking this year, at least more than commuting. She's done 2 centuries so far and is doing RAGBRAI with me in a few weeks. I think she's officially addicted
Mmm hmmm pretty boys on the road indeed. One of the great things about cycling, the pretty boys.
Did you happen to see the little boy, I think he was 8 or 9 years old, riding with his dad? He did 83 miles the first day. I saw them out on the century loop. He's one we'll see on TV in 10 years or so.
And whoever thought up those wash towels in ice water buckets deserves a medal!

I did see him and I saw a dad with two daughters, one riding tandem with him and the other on her own bike. I know they did the 75 because I saw them on and off all day on Saturday. The girls were maybe 10 and 8. Poor little one was resting her head on the handlebars by the end of the route! What little troopers! Originally Posted by betagirl

The cold cloths were a blessed relief - I just hated to see them discarded by the side of the road. Littering is just wrong.
Didn't the MS Society take good care of us? Some people had nit-picky complaints but I thought they did a splendid job, really rolling with the weather "punches" both days. You couldn't stop by the roadside for more than 10 minutes without one of the motorcycle or SAG vehicles stoping to check on you. It was a wonderful ride.
The next challenge is the Metro Metric at the end of July. Dare I try for a century?
Hope to see you on the road next year!! What's your team name?

Wash towels in ice water! Excellent idea - I'll add it to my "How to Drive SAG Like a Star" list! Right next to the Marshmellow Peeps and Circus Animal Cookies.
