August 22, 2026 Ride

The Club ride Black and Blue was guided by John Seeley with Greg and Kate Hand as tail gunners. There were 9 machines and riders included: Fred and Kathy Perry, Chuck and Tammy Turner, Ron Runyon, Gary Lund, Chris and Cathy, and Bob and Marsha Farnsworth.

The ride began by trailering to the Alpine school. From there, we traveled the 403 road, down to the Black River and came back up the 37 road. We then went over Red Hill road down to the Blue River and traveled back to the Alpine school for a total of 81 miles.

We saw on our ride deer, elk, turkeys and big horn sheep. We got into little rain but not bad. All in all it was a great ride with great company.

Thanks to John Seeley for guiding ride and Greg and Karen Hand for tail gunning, and to Ruth C***s for supplying pictures and a written summary of the ride!
