Another California Weekend
This past weekend we hosted our annual "Lake County" ride and BBQ. A group of us have been riding (Harley’s) together for many years and this particular ride we’ve now done for 10.
We began the trek on Saturday from Danville, Ca, and rode into the wine country, through almond orchards, and around Lake Berryessa. It was a bit hazy this year, but still great weather for a ride. We then ended the day back at our placed for a BBQ. There were 18 of us this year…. a great group and lots of fun!
Here’s a shot of the Lake (a big water skiing destination) and again, just like last week the picture was taken from the back of the bike…
We ended our weekend by seeing our close friend, Laurie DeSeguirant, perform with a Big Band paying a tribute to Old Blue Eyes. It was called Simply Sinatra and Laurie sang and performed brilliantly. The band backing him were Jim Franz, Jan Nichols, Gordon Rowley, Bob Scott, John Nichols, and Dave Tidball. They have performed with greats such as Tom Jones, The Drifters, Liberace, Michael Jackson, Sammy Davis Jr., Ella Fitzgerald, Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra himself, and many others.
A good weekend and now regenerated again, to roll right into a productive week!
Until next time - J.
