Wednesday
For those of you on the East side of town, you
have not been forgotten. This is something that I have wanted to do
for a few years, and it is finally happening. I will be starting a new bike
night in Downtown Scottsdale on Wednesday nights. Many of you might remember a
few years ago when Arizona Bike Week had the Tuesday night party on Craftsman
Ct. in Downtown Scottsdale. We will be re-creating that great party by
blocking off Craftsman Ct. between 3rd Ave. and 5th Ave., just West of
Scottsdale Rd. each Wednesday night for motorcycle only
parking. This is the same location as the Downtown Scottsdale Block
Party.
Four bars and restaurants on this street will be
participating in this event with Bike Night specials including:
Upper Deck Sports Grill,
Dos
Gringos,
Whitehouse and
Acme Bar &
Grill.
Three of these places have outdoor
patios and are set up perfect for a bike night. Plenty of trees and a nice
ambiance around. We will have music, vendors, food specials, drink specials and
plenty of plenty of fun as we head into riding season.
Put Wednesday, March 24th on your calendar for
the Cyclerides.com Downtown Scottsdale Bike Night. More
information to follow in the letter next week.
If you would like to be
a Sponsor or a Vendor at this event, email me at info@cyclerides.com. Should
be a great place for a Wednesday night bike night in Scottsdale.

Thursday Night
The wait is finally over. Welcome back to "The Times Square In
The Desert". The Westgate Bike Night in Association with Cyclerides.com
that turned out to be one of the most talked about and best
attended bike nights this State has ever seen There was
some disappointment when it ended last July 2nd, but the anticipation has been
building this year and we are ready to kick it off again on Thursday, March
18 from 5pm - 10pm and run until June 24th. We hope to make this one even
better than last year with different programming every week. Click

Wednesday
Bike Night at Legends Bar & Grill in Scottsdale. (Formerly
Brokers). Have you ever wished you could walk in to the real life Cheer's Bar
from the TV Show?? For me, Legends is about as close as I will get. This is
one of my favorite places to stop in North Scottsdale any day of the week. They
are VERY motorcycle friendly with parking blocked off every day and extend their
specials from Bike Night through every day of the week.
Enjoy these biker specials:
$5 wings and sliders
$5 well drinks and house
wine
$2.50 beer in the bottle
Free soft drinks
Brokers is under new ownership and is now called Legends Bar and
Grill. It is the same fun place with great food and atmosphere.
Wednesday is Bike Night, but the new owner is welcoming the motorcycle riders
all the time with specials everyday just for riders. Legends is
conveniently located on the SW Corner of Frank Lloyd Wright and Scottsdale Rd.
Motorcycle parking available every day. Stop by
Legends this coming Wednesday night and see what I mean. Make Legends a
stop for your charity ride.
