Winter Schedule

Daylight is growing shorter. We are getting ready to change the clocks. Evenings can get very brisk. So what does all that mean? Pretty quickly we will be going to our winter ride schedule.

Typically this means we will limit our meetings to once or twice a month. Most often they will be via the cages and should be within the OKC city limits.

Don't let this discourage you from coming out. There is a GREAT group of people that make up the dinner ride group.

Over the winter we will be discussing additional rides for next spring/summer/fall. So we look forward to all and to see what the winter could bring.

It's been awhile...

OK so I am NOT the best at getting things posted. I do apologize. So to cut to the chase. Here are links for the past few ride pics that I have missed posting. Please enjoy!

Towards the end of the year we will be having a photoshop contest. Sooooo get some good pics and email them to us for consideration.

August 2nd....

Well on August 2nd the Tuesday night dinner ride group will become....the Saturday Mt. Scott, all day, riding group. (LOL)

From what I have understood. We will be leaving out of Complete Cycles at 9 am on Saturday the 2nd of August. We will be riding back roads to Mt. Scott and the state park. We will eat lunch at The Riverside Cafe in Medicine Park. Then head back home VIA I-44. (So bring your pike pass or some cash for tolls.)

As I figure it will take us about an hour and a half to two hours to get to MT. Scott and Medicine Park. The return trip should take about an hour to an hour fifteen. (Depending on the speed of your bike.)

So if you plan on going. Get your bike in this week to the shop for a quick once over. Check your tires, oil, and etc...

July 8, 2008

The night air was humid and the roar of motorcycles could be heard all around. There was 16 motorcycles and some 30 people. Their simple goal as Bandanna Red's in Choctaw. The question was could they make it by 7:30? The fearless ride leader mounts his stead and with the roar of his engine they are off!

OK so maybe we aren't the next great drama on TBN. But, we still have a lot of fun! We had several first time riders and their families in cages. Jeff, the leader of this rag tag group, lead us down some back roads to Anderson, north to 29th and over to the restaurant.

Food was moderate, not somewhere to take out of town family to impress. But still very good after a long day working for a crabby boss. (<---Did I just type that? DOPE!) Anyway here are some pics and we will be posting what we have in store for next weeks ride. You can also check out the Complete Calendar by going to the Complete Cycles link and clicking on the Calendar link in the lower left corner. Don't forget to mark out for August 2nd. We will be going to Mt. Scott and eating at the RiverSide Cafe in Medicine Park. Details to follow.... Julies Pics

July 1 2008 (Per Julie Goodwin)

Well the ride this week took us to the Steak and Catfish Barn off of I-35 and Waterloo Rd. Twenty one bikes with 30 people were in attendance. Our fearless ride leader, Jeff, started a new card game that will reveal the winner at the end of four weeks. The winner is to receive a free dinner, compliments of Jim Anderson's Complete Cycles. Other than this the ride was nice and laid back and uneventful!

So keep in tune and look at the pictures from the link below. Next weeks ride will be to Bandana Red's in Choctaw. SO come hungry with a tank of gas!

A week late...June 24, 2008

Well I do apologize for being a week late and skipping the previous week altogether. But, at Complete Cycles we had just finished one poker run and were preparing for the second in as many weeks. Excuses aside. Here is how the week of June 24th ride went...

Jeff, our fearless ride leader, had a marvelous idea of the Harrah steak house. His route took us out 23rd street to Harrah. Very uneventful, yet laid back route. SOOOO prior to our leaving he called and let them know of the numbers they were to expect. (Jeff more than accomplished his task of ride leader this week!) So off all 26 riders and 21 bikes! Upon our arrival we enjoyed a lot of banter between the tables. As this was one of the most diverse groups yet. (With 4 sport bikes, one dual sport, one Triumph wanabe, and the remainder cruisers.)

Dinner was fairly uneventful, for those who got food. See that is where the major problem here in lied. There was a handful of persons that did NOT get their  food. It seems that in the confusion of all 26 of us, and 10 regulars. Somehow a few people simply got lost. 

There was a handful of first time riders: Brad and Shelly Orchard. (Pronounced oSHard. :poke:), Kelly Smith, Jay Allen, Scott Brown, Jason Billen, Troy Durbin, Steve and Lynn Brackee, and Ken Green. So a big welcome and hope you come back! So ONE to what everyone wants....PICTURES....

Picture Contest

Ok...So I thought it would be fun to have a Picture Caption Contest. So I am going to post a picture and everyone post what you think the caption should read. Remember to be nice, so as not to hurt feelings. Use the comment link to post your captions. (Sorry for picking on you Julie. BUT, this picture just screamed make a caption!)

June 10, 2008 of Los jinetes locos de la cena

Welcome back or Welcome for the first time. Either way we welcome you.

We could not have asked for a better night or weather. There were 9 bikes, 2 trikes, and a car. Total number of attendees was 21! (REALLY? That is awesome!) 

The ride was headed by Joe Clanton. Our destination was Chelino's in Norman. Joe took the group down Sooner Rd to the access road near the old GM plant. From there we took Midwest BLVD to Stanley Draper Dr. This was a beautiful route around the west and southern part of Lake Draper. From there we took Westminster south to Franklin west to 60th south to Alameda and west to Chelino's. 

This was definitely a beautiful route. It was lightly traveled and the scenery was filled with green trees and dotted with gorgeous homes. Total distance was about 20 miles. There were few stop signs with fairly light traffic. I would say this was a good ride. Even if we don't do Chelino's this is a great route to Norman for future rides.

The discussion arose as to what to name our new dinner club.  So using the comment link at the bottom of this post. Those with interesting names, post your suggestions. I will then compile the suggestions and bring them to next weeks dinner ride. The person with the winning idea will receive bragging rights and your choice of dinner location for the next week! So think hard and post those names!

So before you leave enjoy these pictures by Julie Goodwin and myself. (If anyone else has pictures email them to w650cafe@gmail.com and I will post them.)

June 3rd Dinner Ride

Well Tuesday night was the first dinner ride out of Complete Cycles. The riders headed north to Fat Tire Burger in Edmond. There was 10bikes and 16 riders. This was a very diverse group with everything from Harley's to Honda's. Seeing this was the first ride we consider the attendance a success and are looking forward to what the summer will bring.

For the most part the ride was uneventful. Once dinner was finished Jim took everyone by his home, cheap way of not having to ride further. As the group left Jim's house the rider leader, Jeff, got lost and ended up closer to Gutherie than MidWest City. So in the future it has been suggested that someone with a GPS lead, or we at least Google map our way home. (poke poke)

So if you are interested. Join us each Tuesday at 6:30pm. We will be leaving Jim Anderson's Complete Cycles promptly at 6:45. We will be enjoying a leisurely ride of 50 miles. Arrive with plenty of gas in the tank and money for dinner.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact the shop for additional details. 405.672.9253.
