Al the Wop’s Locke Ride June 12th,
2011 Once again, June is the
time for our annual pilgrimage to the Delta, Al the Wop’s, and one of the finest
(well, most unique) steak sandwiches in Northern California. Al the Wop’s defies description and simply
needs to be experienced to be understood.
“Al the Wop’s,” Politically
Incorrect, you say? Yes it is. They tried to rename it “Al’s Place” in the
80’s, but the name never took. They’ve
been serving up good grub and drink since 1915! As we have done in years
past, we will meet in the South East corner of the Sun Valley Sears Parking
lot in Concord, just off of Willow Pass Rd, west of I-680. The festivities begin around 10:00 to meet,
greet, and commence the general kicking of tires. We’ll get underway around
10:00 for our next meeting & pick up point, the Hillcrest Shell gas
station at 2701 Hillcrest in Antioch.
Here we’ll join up with our east county contingent. After the requisite socializing, we’ll top
off our tanks, and get ready for Locke. We’ll get underway for
Locke around 11:00 and should arrive at Al the Wop’s at about 11:45 for
lunch. As we arrive at Locke, turn
right (down the short hill) and right again onto Main Street. Don’t be put off by the appearance of the
buildings all leaning together and supporting each other. It is not your imagination, they are! Just as they have for over 90 years. This is an event that in
the past has drawn Blue Knights from all over Northern California and we hope
to see many return again this year. When we are done with
lunch, you have the rest of the afternoon to enjoy some of the finest, most
scenic, roads in California. Please feel free to drop me
a line with any questions or suggestions for this or any chapter ride.
