Whitney Run 2011

This last weekend we went on the annual Whitney Run. We do this ride every year to remember my uncle who passed away 15 years ago. It's really cool to hear of his legendary stories and what a cool guy he was. This year there 13 of us that went down. There were 9 bikes and 2 trucks that followed along with us.

Our destination site was the Grand Canyon. Which of course we didn't make it to. My dad reminded us of a story my uncle told him basically saying that "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey!" That ended up being our theme of the trip.

Well on to the trip. We left on Thursday, May 25th. We headed out down Redwood Road and back behind Utah Lake. That's where the rain started and lets say we got soaked throughout the whole day. We headed through Eureka and down in Delta, where we stayed for the night.

Here we are taking a break at an out of business gas station.

That night in Delta, everyone handed out little gifts. There were shirts, hats, knives, DVD's and all sorts of other stuff that had "Whitney Run 2011" on it in some way or another. My dad got us these cool light up mohawks and glasses.

Here is a picture of my dad and brothers the next morning.

Here are some friends, Skinny and Wendy.

Sadly, Dan could only ride one day with us. He had to take off the next morning. Here's Dan! He's one cool dude!

Here's the group!

This was on the way to Zion's. We pulled off under this overpass to get dry for a minute. Luckily the rain ended soon after and didn't rain again the whole trip.

Here's Nick the next morning wishing he had his long hair back.

Here's Skinny with his cool pony tail.

Me, at Bryce Canyon.

Beautiful Bryce Canyon. I haven't been there since I was probably 8.

Just hangin out taking another break at Bryce.

All in all, it was a great trip. Thanks to Keith for letting me borrow his sweet bike on the trip. It kicked butt.

I'm already looking forward to next year's trip.

Later.
