March 2025 President’s Message

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

It’s finally that time of spring when the weather is warming up and we can start venturing slightly north on warm ride days.

This past month has seen rides to Moapa Valley, Mesquite a few times, and this past Thursday 11 bikes and 1 cage, road out to Springdale. We had lunch at Oscars and then rode through Zion and over to Mt Carmel & then returned via the Pink Sand Dunes and Colorado City. It was a perfect day for a ride led by Scott Blue, and the long-awaited return to the road by David Long, our Head Road Captain.

As we head into the warmer months there will be a lot more chances to get the bikes out and enjoy the surrounding scenery, attend rally’s and special events. There are already some events popping up in March that might be of interest to some of our members.

Just a friendly reminder that we are primarily a club whose sole purpose is to get out and enjoy our bikes and company, I will continue to post events as I see them come up and I would encourage others that might see other events that might be of interest to the club to please let us know. No outside events are mandatory and are simply posted for your information. From time to time there may be events several of us decide to attend and we will put out a suggested meeting time and place if others would like to attend and ride or participate as a group.

There are some big rallys coming up this spring and summer that some might want to consider.
