FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2021 57 On March 22 we are heading to Kernville for our first multi-day ride of 2021. Yes! This will be a three-day ride. On day one, we will depart from Four Seasons on our way to Kernville. Day two will be a full day of riding and exploring the region around Kernville. It just so happens that our club president, Terry Humble, knows the back roads up there pretty well. Terry grew up in the Bakersfield area and as a child he went on countless family camping, fishing, and hunting trips in the Kernville area. Later, he added motorcycling to Kernville as a regular activity. To this day Terry and his wife, Janet, still enjoy camping and fishing in Kernville. So, we are taking advantage of Terry's expert knowledge of the region as he will be our guide on day two of our upcoming trip. Can't wait. Day three of the outing will be the ride back home. If you ride and have been thinking of joining the Motorcycle Club (MC), our multi-day rides are always unforgettable experiences. It just doesn't get any better than a few days of riding and enjoying the camaraderie of fellow motorcycling enthusiasts. We hope to go on several multi-day rides this year so if you are interested in learning more about the activities of the MC, give us a call. You can contact club president Terry Humble at (909) 706-2298, club vice president Jim Ayala at (951) 392-6259, or club secretary Joe Bert at (909) 767-1484). In addition to going on a few multi-day rides each year, we go on a day ride every Thursday. We meet at The Lodge parking lot and are on the road promptly at 9 am. These rides are generally 100 to 200 miles in length and include a break for lunch. Depending on the time of year and road conditions, our destination choices for these rides can be quite varied; popular destinations include Idyllwild, San Clemente, Julian, Joshua Tree National Park, Big Bear, Santa Rosa Plateau, Wrightwood, and Borrego. Regardless of our destination, spending time with fellow motorcycle riders naturally turns into developing friendships and learning that there is a lot more going on with each member than just motorcycle riding. For example, we just learned that one of our members, Bill Steele, received a special award. For decades Bill has been quietly donating to the Red Cross. Since 1962, he has given 120 whole blood donations and over 800 platelet donations. Hey Bill, we had no idea. Bill quietly informed us that the Red Cross recently surprised him with an award acknowledging his life-long generosity. We are proud of you Bill! ~ Jim Ayala, jimrayala95@gmail.com Motorcycle Club With the coronavirus having everything shut down, this will be my generic Breeze article until things get back to normal again and I have something to write about. Our Club has 16 members with an average of 10 players participating each week. We have relaxed rules about throwing distances, pretty much where you are comfortable throwing, so everyone can participate and have fun. We have Quarterly Tournaments, both Singles and Doubles, with the winners' pictures being included in the Breeze. We have quarterly social events, which consists of dinner at The Kopper Kettle Bistro at 5 pm followed by dessert at one of our member's homes, which gets our spouses and significant others involved and makes for a fun evening of fellowship and camaraderie. We usually cap the evening off with a rousing game of LCR (Left/Center/Right). We're always looking for new members, so while you are hunkered down in your homes for the next several weeks, think about joining us. We meet at The Summit Wednesdays at 9 am fall through spring, and 8 am in the summer. Our contacts are Ron Erickson at (951) 846-3288, rejlerickson@sbcglobal.net or Gary Christie at (951) 845-0520, goldtoy@earthlink.net. ~ Ron Erickson Horseshoe Club Above: Bill Steele on his beautiful Harley Davidson Heritage Classic Left: Bill with his Red Cross award
