54 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | FEBRUARY 2019 Motorcycle club As we ring in 2019, it's time to thank those who made the year 2018 a success for the Four Seasons Motorcycle Club. First, thank you to our club president, Terry Humble, for his high energy and upbeat leadership style. Terry enthusiastically took on every responsibility thrown at him throughout 2018. Our monthly meetings were consistently well attended, and we saw a lot of riders turning out for our Thursday rides; no doubt due in large part to Terry's leadership. And finally, Terry organized and planned the November Laughlin multi-day ride. More on that below. Thank you to club president Terry for a very successful 2018! Second, thank you to Bob Howard and to Howard Lyon; both are veteran riders and founding members of the Four Seasons MC. Bob and Howard handled all of the logistics of the two other multi-day rides that we took in 2018. In May we took a week-long ride through Utah and in October we took a two-day ride to Jacumba. Planning a multi-day ride is a huge job as it includes setting the route, designating rest, gas and meal stops and arranging for lodging. Thank you Bob and Howard for making our Utah and Jacumba rides memorable ones! Third, thank you to Scott Snyder. Scott is becoming our unofficial (official) photographer for the club. After every ride we can always count on Scott to send each member some great pictures of the day's ride. Thank you Scott! The final multi-day ride of 2018 was to Laughlin in November and, as anticipated, it turned out to be a nice send off to 2018. Six MC members made the ride, five of whom were joined by their spouses. The four-day trip included a 125-mile day ride to Oatman, Az on old Route 66 and a 200-mile day ride that included a ride to Kingman and to Hoover Dam. The ride back home included a stop at Searchlight and a ride through the scenic Mohave Preserve. What a great way to end the year. Thanks again to president Terry for organizing the trip. And now we look forward to 2019. We'll continue to take our Thursday rides, even during the winter cold (I've got to get those heated motorcycle grips installed!). As for multi-day rides, two are already on the books. In April we will be heading to Arizona taking in the sights in Tucson and Tombstone as well as a number of other points of interest. In September we will be heading up the coast to San Francisco then east to the Sierras and back home on old 395. Can't wait! ~ Jim Ayala, jimrayala@aol.com From left, Janet Humble, Bill Steele, Terry Humble, Doyle Vest, Rick Brower, Jamie Brower, Joette Snyder, Scott Snyder Terry and Janet Humble enjoying the ride
