October 29, 2021. A few of the lads gathered on Friday afternoon for an impromptu craft brew tour to Monrovia and visits to Wingwalker Brewing and Hop Secret Brewing, before "hopping" (get it? hopping :)) on the eastbound Metrolink back to Windbreaker country.

September 10, 2021. The Windbreakers are looking forward to participating in this year's El Tour de Tucson bicycle century ride. The date is November 20, 2021, and our prep rides are getting underway. We'll have a nice size group there to fly the Windbreaker flag. Ride On!

| Happy Birthday Joe! |
May 15, 2021. Several of our ranks gathered on a cool, overcast Saturday morning to wish club Co-Founder Joe a happy birthday and ride alongside on a 60 for 60 bicycle ride. Our route took us on familiar roads west to Monrovia, Sierra Madre and East Pasadena, then a turnaround through Arcadia, Covina, and San Dimas to finish at Butter Cafe in Upland for breakfast burritos, coffee, and Windbreaker Wife Jenny's delicious carrot cake. We finished with a celebratory hoisting of the glass for some cold beers at Roundin' Third sports bar, next door to Butter.
Happy Birthday Joe, and Ride On!

March 28, 2021. Under bright, sunny skies the lads gathered this past Saturday at the Upland Downtown Metrolink station for the latest edition of what has become a much anticipated Windbreaker tradition of visiting area craft breweries and sampling the brews of these fine establishments. The Covid-19 pandemic has made it much more challenging for these businesses to carry on...definitely not business as usual. But each is to be thanked for putting measures in place to welcome guests and stay in business. 
First stop: Mt. Lowe Brewing with our very own Jim "Hammer" Lowe
 |
| Second stop: Enjoying refreshments at Alosta Brewing |
 |
| Our trusty steeds take a rest at Alosta |

| Following Hammer's very courteous run to the local liquor store for one more beer while we waited for the train, the lads received an announcement that our train would be delayed. So we added some "bonus miles" to the day's adventure to get home before dark. |
February 27, 2021. Early morning light clouds gave way to bright, sunny skies as Windbreakers and NextGen friends gathered at the Anaheim Transportation Center for the latest "Special Edition" Saturday morning ride. Our route this day would take us south along the Santa Ana River Trail to the Slater Avenue cutoff, then west to Seal Beach for a coffee stop, then south battling a pretty stiff headwind along PCH past Bolsa Chica and Huntington Beaches, rejoining the Santa Ana River Trail north to our lunch stop at Brewery X in North Anaheim. 54 miles of good times and good fun!
 |
| Early into the ride, some laughs with the gang when Craig flatted, and when he grabbed his replacement tube in his saddle bag he discovered that the tube was just a tad too small. A better fit for a wheelbarrow perhaps. He took it in stride, as he always does!  |
