FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2021 49 The Four Seasons Motorcycle Club (MC) recently enjoyed a three-day ride to Kernville. Nine members plus two guests made the ride; it was the largest group participating in one of our multi- day rides. Getting in on the fun were Terry Humble, Jim Ayala, Joe Bert, Scott Snyder, Tim Mixon, Bill Steele, Charles Price, Rick Brower, Dave Burchartz and two guests. Terry led the ride; on day one, he took us to Kernville via Barstow and Mojave where we stopped for lunch then on to Kernville. Day two was a two-hour scenic ride after which everyone kicked back and enjoyed the rest of the day doing whatever (and maybe drinking a little beer). On day three Terry led us out of Kernville toward Bakersfield. The highlight was a stop at the Bakersfield National Cemetery located in Arvin. Needless to say, it was an emotional experience. Three club members, Rick Brower, Bill Steele and Charles Price, are veterans. Kudos to Terry Humble for making a stop at the cemetery and giving us the opportunity to share the experience with our veterans. The rest of the ride home was smooth sailing until Charles' trike started having cooling issues and had to be transported the rest of the way home. The problem was minor and his trike is now back on the road. All things considered, it was another memorable multi-day ride. Thanks Terry for planning the trip! Before the summer heat is upon us, the MC is planning one more spring multi-day ride. In the works is a three-day ride to Ojai that is tentatively scheduled for mid-May. The exact route is in the planning stages but we know that day one will take us to Ojai. Day two will be a day ride that may include lunch at Jalama Beach (near Lompoc) and a tour of the Vintage Motorcycle Museum in Solvang. Day three will take us back home. Speaking of multi-day rides, we are also talking about heading to the Grand Canyon for a five- or six-day ride. This would happen, perhaps, some time early next year. You can never start planning these rides too soon! The MC isn't just about multi-day rides. Weather permitting, we also head out on a ride every Thursday. We depart from The Lodge parking lot at 9 am and these rides are generally 150 to 200 miles in round-trip length. Depending on the weather and our mood, our route for these rides varies greatly and we have lots of options. For example, one Thursday we may head up to Big Bear, the next week we may ride to San Clemente, the next time we may ride to Julian. Where we go doesn't matter; it's all good. If you ride and are thinking of joining the MC and you have questions, feel free to call Terry Humble at (909) 706-2298, Jim Ayala at (951) 392-6259, or Joe Bert (909) 767-1484. We would love to chat! ~ Jim Ayala, jimrayala95@gmail.com Motorcycle Club All packed and getting ready to head home from Kernville Getting a briefing as we prepare to ride to Kernville Proud Veterans Bill Steele, Charles Price and Rick Brower at the Bakersfield National Cemetery
