       Once again Cool Rides does it right! thanks Greg for organizing a great ride. 
    •  Everyone made me feel very welcome on my first event with this group. 
    •  Thanks for everyone coming out. It was a great ride to Laguna and up the coast. Very hot at swap meet in Long Beach, and meet itself was so-so in my opinion. I had to leave early, so did not make the lunch portion. Hope everyone had a good time! 
    •  Good ride through the canyon and up the coast on a toasty hot day. I was underwhelmed by the motorcycle swap meet in Long Beach, but it was a fun ride there. 
    •  I could not attend. I was not able to find a rider. It is OK , next time I will be lucky. Thank you 
    •  got lost at the swap meet pretty quickly...not much there for me but it was a good ride and good people. 
    •  We had a big turn-out for this one. Nice ride through Laguna Canyon and up PCH. The only downside was that it was already blazing hot by 10am. Gotta love SoCal.
