July Chapter Meeting

                                                                                                                Chapt. 152 July Meeting and Ride

                                                                                                                            Mirror Lake Highway

     As the warm weather of July invades the Salt Lake Valley and the temperatures hit the 100’s; our chapter riders think about the cool mountain air of the Uinta’s and the smells if pine trees, camp fires, mountain lakes and streams covered with a slight refreshing rain fall. Today was going to be that ride. We all met at Full Throttle where George got our meeting started with information about our upcoming Chapter BBQ at the end of July, our August Bear Lake Ride for Raspberry shakes and our annual Sept. Red Rock Ride. With donuts and coffee consumed (ya we tore it up) it was time to get underway.

     Leaving Full Throttle we traveled north to Weber canyon on I-84. Proceeding through Weber canyon to the town of Echo where we jumped on I-80 through Echo canyon to Evanston, Wyoming for lunch.  We broke off into small groups, some for fast food and some for Mexican food and some just stayed with the bikes “feeding” each other stories. The time we spend there is always a good time. Leaving Evanston we started on the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway. Truly one of the most beautiful pieces of road a person can ride through, a winding 78 miles of nature and its creation. We ended our July’s Chapter ride in Kamas. Sitting on my bike thinking about today’s ride and all the beauty, I just smile and thank everyone for a great ride.

     Thanks again to Full Throttle for all of your support and the all the members of 152 and to the other chapters in Utah for all of your participation. You are all a great group of riders. A big thinks to Myke (prairie Dog) and Mindy, we will miss you here in Salt Lake; our loss is Denver’s gain. Denver looks like a new place for us to ride…so look for us.
