Wheeler Ride 2008 Salt Lake City - Kamas Utah

The Motorcycles were stacked 4-6 deep all along the campground like this...
There were around 450 motorcycles lining the entire campground and all the way along the roadside above the campground, many of the bikes were carrying double passengers. The sounds down the canyon as they rolled along was that of constant rolling and rumbling thunder echoing off the canyon walls of Kamas Utah. The CAT - Wheeler company put this ride on as a charity event donating matching donations of all the riders to charity with a minimum fee of $10.00 per rider. The ride ended up taking Wes over 280 miles of beautiful land and bringing a smile from ear to ear the whole way, with the occasional interruption from the bug smashing into his head. The canyon was a beautiful ride filled with winding sweeping corners, beautiful rivers, snow covered hills filled with the last chance snowmobilers flying around as the riders rolled down the road, all in all it was enough to make him as happy as a child surrounded by candy and presents on a Christmas morning. This was his first ride with so many riders. He thought it was going to be a small group but as he pulled into the parking lot of the CAT Wheeler Company, he saw two parking lots full of motorcycles and their riders rocking hard to classic rock and socializing in the classic black leather and steel apparel. The ride was a memorable beginning to what looks like a life long obsession he is looking forward to (and possibly me)! May 31, 2008
