Whitney Run and New Toy

Welcome to my first "real" post. You got it, I, Jeremy am actually going to write about something and it's because I have had a pretty sweet week and a half. On Thursday the 14th I went with my Brother Dan, my dad, and a bunch of my dad's friends on the annual "Whitney Run". This is a ride in memory of my uncle Craig (aka Whitney), and it has been going on for the last 14 years around this time. It was one of the best things I've done. We went all over the state of Utah in a 4 day span. The fun thing about it was that there was no agenda. We would wake up and decide where we wanted to go for the day and sometimes we'd stick by it and other times we wouldn't. The best part was just hanging out with my brother Dan and my dad. Oh yah, and the bike was sweet too. I've posted some pictures below.

Dan and I rented Harley's for the ride. This is the two of us with my dad picking them up from the Harley store.
The first day we headed over Skyline Drive. It was cold but great anyway.

We camped at Millsites Res and went fishing there too. Kind of funny because out of everyone I was the only one that caught a fish, and not only that but I caught 3. Dan tried to still my spot, so I moved to his and I still caught a fish and he didn't. I was pretty lucky that day.

We would ride for about an half hour to an hour at a time and then stop for a break. This was just one of the stops.




My Dad, Dan, and Me.




Just a picture of our bikes that I thought was cool.




This is the whole gang on the last day. Some of the nicest people I've ever met.



Finally, after we got home I took Kelli on a ride on the bike and she had such a good time she insisted I get a bigger bike. So, that fast, I now already have a new bike. I got a pretty big bike and I love it. It is a Honda VTX 1800. Kelli and I are excited to take it on road trips and even just short little trips up the canyon. She feels a lot more comfortable with me on the big bike. Thanks Kell. You're the absolute best and I'm extremely spoiled to be treated so well and to have such an amazing wife.
All and all, this has been a pretty exciting week for the two of us.
Here I am on the new bike.
