Westward Ho!

Westward Ho!

What a fun ride! The group of us took a turn to the west and road out to Willard Bay. The run was a lot different than our last ride which took us along the mountains. The landscape was wide, flat and filled with great views and interesting smells (cow, skunk, flowers and others). We stopped along the way at Utah’s iconic store called “Smith and Edwards” for a quick photo and then mid-ride arrived at Willard Bay.

Located along the Great Salt Lake, we enjoyed a nice breeze and short break. Our ride continued along 89 and then onto the winding “Pleasant View” drive. Our ride finished at “Andy’s,” in Harrisville for a delicious Greek brunch. In all, it was a great ride with great company.

There is a ride each month in SLC. I will add these to our schedule and I encourage you to invite anyone from our big sister down south to join our rides. In addition, while we do have a conflict on the April ride, I will make an effort to schedule opposite their rides.

Coffee break at the halfway point. 25 miles on a sunny 32 degree day. Frosty and I felt some windchill but it was worth it. Getting ready for Vegas weekender…

Very tempting. Yesterday I started the Scoot and I could tell that AKI as I call her, wanted to go for a spin. But since the roads weren’t plowed I figured I would have to wait. Hoping for a new years eve or new years day ride… I will call the ride the frosty ball. Hopefully the first of many frosty ball rides.

Frosty Sunday

Today was a lovely day in the sun but a ride up the canyon in the shade proved to be frosty endeavor. Temperatures below 40 really do make for a cool ride but still, Jeff and I managed to get a quick one in before the early sunset. While the club forms, we are working on finding some fun easy rides which can share when we have many members. A quick jaunt from the Masonic Temple parking lot to the Oaks is a nice little short run.

The scoot doesn’t have to be perfect. It will age, it will show imperfections over time. Try as we might; it will still age as we do. But there is beauty in aging. Once aged if cared for it will be called Classic.
