On August 16th the Divas met up and rode to Cocoa Beach. Sharon W. was in charge of this month's Divas-only ride, and with some input from Victoria, Trish and Chris, her ride was a success. We met at Broadway Pizza Sunday morning and left at 10:00 -- 30 minutes past our original kickstands up time but, hey, we had a lot to talk about, especially since we had four new members to introduce ourselves to!
Thankfully, for an August day it wasn't too hot while we were riding. The beach was another story. Whoa, it got a little warm!
Once we got to Cocoa, we stopped in at Coconuts On The Beach for lunch. They have a great menu and you can't beat the view (right on the beach). We were all feeling thankful for the air-conditioned, indoor-dining option, though. The food was outstanding! Lots of rave reviews on each of the dishes ordered.
After lunch, some of us headed back while others stayed to check out the beach bods and visit other friends in the area. We had a great time and many of our regulars who couldn't make it this time were missed.
A few pics from the ride:

Sunscreen application before a ride -- always a good idea!

The whole gang at Coco -- wait! Where's Victoria?
Okay, the whole gang at -- now, where's Bunny?
