Cave Creek - Part 2

Why part two? Well, cause this part has nothing to do with bike week or motorcycles, this has to do with the charm and beauty of the City of Cave Creek. This is such a cool destination, if you are visiting the Phoenix area the 50-mile drive will totally be worth it.

Art galleries, restaurants, shops, and lots of desert scenery. As we were on our way Abby noticed that the saguaros were flipping us off, ha ha at least that's what many of them look like. The Cave Creek Fiesta Days include a rodeo and many activities. When I was active in the car club I would participate in their Fiesta Days parade. Lot's of fun.

In this post I will just show you a bunch of images I captured on last Wednesday.





While I was snapping pictures left and right I took this picture of Abby and noticed that she was making a face. So I asked her what was wrong, she said nothing was wrong, actually she said "This is kind of too right".

Here's Abby making an ewwwwwww kind of face. Look at where she is looking at!
Yes, she thought the bulls were made too politically correct (*wink *wink) if you know what I mean.

I don't think there has been a time when Abby and I go out and don't have lots of fun. This was such an occasion. It is fun visiting places that are within a few miles of our neck of the woods.

Greetings from Cave Creek.

Cave Creek

Well, Arizona Bike Week came and went and me being kindda broke couldn't really take any of the major rides but Abby and I did hopped on the Fatboy and headed towards Cave Creek last Wednesday. The day was sunny, the weather was beautiful, no need for jackets or sweaters, just a t-shirt and that was that.

Cave Creek is a 65-mile ride from Avondale up the 101 to the 17 and then exit on Carefree Highway and go east until you get to Cave Creek, once there you will be transported to the old west. You will find eclectic shopping, art galleries, the beauty of the Sonoran Desert and a plethora of restaurants. Cave Creek is a well known biker destination and many of the restaurants and bars are biker friendly.

Cave Creek was in the middle of their "Fiesta Days" so cowboy cook-outs and even the rodeo were in full swing. But Abby and I didn't do any of that, we just took a nice leisure ride, our destination was the world famous HIdeaway Grill, a very well known biker destination.

Because it was "Bike Week" they had a band, vendors, and lots and lots of bikes. We stayed there for a while and then decided to see some more of the town. We did some shopping but mostly window shopping, there Abby proposed to me and even gave me a ring.

The ride back to Phoenix was faster than the ride going, our destination was my mom's house for one of her very awesome home cooked meal.



Bobbers, baggers, customs, and my beautiful fiance.

A good rider has balance, judgment, and good timing. So does a good husband and wife.

We, had an awesome time, and as always I took too many pictures, but that is just the way I like it. It's always fun to sit by the lap top and see all the images, right away you start to reminisce about the day and the outing.






Oh, to say I love my life would be an understatement.

Cave Creek

Here are our bikes just waiting to keep riding.

Well, I left you with an image of me and my awesome sunburn. The ouch only lasted until Tuesday after that it wasn't that bad anymore, of course I took care of it with plenty of aloe vera gel and now like a snake I'm all pealing, but hey guess what? No more two tone arms. lol

So after we walked for about two hours or so over at CycleFest my friend decided we needed to go eat a good hamburger, not just a hamburger but it had to be a good hamburger and him and his other friend started debating where to find such a hamburger. Me being just an innocent bystander and being totally foreign to the Scottsdale and Cave Creek areas I left them decide.

Minutes later we are riding towards Cave Creek, yes I was now wearing a shirt but too late, the damaged was done already. We went to this small hamburger joint, the name escaped me almost right after we left, but yes the hamburger and onion rings were mighty tasty, add to that the fact that I was hungry, probably that help enhanced the flavor.

As soon as we finished we headed for The Hideaway, a popular biker bar in Cave Creek. The place was packed, it was full of vendors and people. Arizona Bike Week brings in a lot of money for certain businesses that are biker friendly. These guys were probably raking in the money.

My friends wanted to continue bar hopping but me and my painful back had had enough. So I told them that I was parting ways and thanked them for everything, as they didn't let me pay for anything not even once. We had a blast and I still had an hour ride back home so I happily hit the road and stretched my riding time by getting lost. I quickly recovered and before long I was riding the freeway heading home.

by the time I got home it was already a little bit past six o'clock. The fatigue from the ride and the sun didn't hit me until the following Tuesday. While at my mom's, one of the most relaxing places I know I laid in bed and didn't wake up until some 13 hours later.

This Saturday my sister in law and I may have a Taco Run Ride. Riding and food, what a great concept.

Sweet Ride!
Another awesome ride, too bad I'm too old for this style.
Hey this is after all Arizona. It's the wild, wild West.
Nice set of... headers?
Fun at the bar.
what a great crowd. Fun times!
I so want one of this.
