First Ride of 2016 for St. George Group!

Even a brown, barren landscape looked beautiful at this time of year when it is cold, snowy and gray up in the Salt Lake area!  Today was sunny, and close to 60 degrees.

Lynn and Mary Lu rode together with the blessing of their spouses who were not quite up for a ride yet.

 We crossed the 'river' 27 times!  (Just kidding)

After the ride with picked up Gil and Juelle and topped of the day with filet mignon at Anasazi.  Happy Birthday to Richard!

Update on Richard

This is information that Cheryl asked me to post.  Richard is doing great and recovering well.  The good news is that he did not need surgery.  He has a small tear near the AC in his shoulder that will take 4-6 weeks to completely heal.  The RZR had minimal damage and is repaired and ready for the next ride.

P.S.  The following is from Karen.  In case some of you don't know, (I'm thinking Dean & Georgia may not have heard),  Richard & Cheryl had an accident on the ride the day after our Halloween party.  They had just gotten in their new RZR, Richard hadn't yet put his seat belt on, Cheryl did have hers on.  Too much power, too quick of a turn, tire caught on rock and they ended upside down.  Cheryl is probably bruised and sore, but is fine. 

Halloween Party - 2015

We had great fun eating, visiting, reminiscing about our past 2015 rides, talking about rides for 2016, and laughing....especially at Dean and Richard's costumes!  Good times, GREAT friends!  (And we missed those who couldn't join us!)

Bear Lake Ride

Lynn and Villa hosted a FUN, and dusty ride up in their 'neck of the woods'.  We met in the canyon above Hyrum and started off our day with Villa's yummy cinnamon rolls.  Then we rode over the mountains to Bear Lake.  (The following photos are from Karen taken with my iphone.  If anyone else has photos they would like me to include, please send them.)

 Richard told us a great story about Ephriam the Grizzly Bear.

(I'll include the story as soon as Richard sends it to me.)

 Greasy Hamburgers, onion rings and french fries.  YUM!

(The Englands and Halls ate Mexican across the street.)

 Raspberry Shakes - DOUBLE YUM!

 Machine Failure
