2 Rick & Jodi - Founders PAGE 2 Founders Corner By Rick & Jodi As we all know our 5th annual friends and family picnic is this Sunday. Times like this make Jodi and I so happy, seeing everyone get together and having a great me. Enjoying the outdoors and playing in the events that have been planned. The most exci ng part of a picnic is the food. What would a picnic be with- out the food. This year we re doing something different than all the other years. We suggested a taco truck and it went over like bu er on corn! Lol We will also have desserts and drinks. The best thing that comes out of this is seeing everyone talking to one another and laughing together and just enjoying the day. Everyone seems to like the new picnic loca on from last year so we think Oak Park will work out for us next year also. It s pre y private and we have all the room we need from doing the slow race to sea ng everyone under the pa o cover to doing all the other games we have planned. This year IRUSA has decided not to charge non members a $5.00 charge for the picnic. Hope to see all family s, friends, and members Sunday, and yes we will have great prizes to give out also. This is going to be a fun day! Let s wish our Birthday Member a very Special day!

Can you guess how many people? Answer: 58 men El Pescador By Rick Today s ride will be going to a li le town called Fillmore. Fillmore is located off Highway 126. Most everyone has been through this town going to the beach or just to take a nice ride. Dave will be taking us to a very well-known Mexican Seafood restaurant called El Pescador. We have been going to El Pescador since it opened. The food is authen c and Chuy, the owner is a great guy. Watch out though, he gives everyone tequila shots so heads up! It shouldn t be too hot today but s ll bring plenty of water. Have fun and enjoy the ride. Santa Paula Café Last Month s Rides Big Bear Our first ride went to Golita by Santa Barbara to a small hideaway called Beachside café. The only way you would know about this place is if someone told you about it. We sat out on the pa o that had a cool breeze and a killer view of the ocean. You will not be disappointed with the food, service and of course the view. Very clean and casual. If you love fresh seafood or just a burger than this will not disappoint anyone. This des na on will be on next years ride schedule for sure! Our second ride was suppose to go to the Way Point at the Camarillo Airport but the wait was going to be to long so we decided to go a li le farther north to Santa Paula airport. What a find. I was told this place closed for awhile and reopened recently. We sat outside on the pa o and it had a nice cool breeze. The food was delicious and Jodi bought birthday desserts for the group. Thank you Jodi for the sweet surprise! Another great day. Our third ride was an over night ride to Big Bear. As always this trip was amazing. It seems the al tude makes everyone relax and let lose! We took a walk to the Village and had dinner at Murry s Saloon and a er dinner we walked through the Village and to top off the evening we stopped at Ben & Jerrys and had an ice cream! The next day we took the back way down the mountain and rode to The apple orchards to Apple Annies and had lunch. Than we took the beau ful scenic route back to the hotel. Once we got back to the hotel we started the whole rou ne over again and had a great evening. Can t wait ll next year. Remember, Ride Hard but safe!
