May 19th was a beautiful day for a beautiful drive! The group from the South met at the capital then met up with us in Kaysville. Taking the back roads through Kaysville and Layton and trying to avoid as many cycilist as possible we made our way down to Antelope Island and out to Garr Ranch. Everyone sat down to lunch and enjoyed the absolutely gorgeous, remarkably buggless day. We had a great turn out:
Kimberly Owens and Dawn Tanner- 2004 MINI Cooper, Annette Hemsley and Parker Kimball– 2005 MINI Cooper Convertable, Jerry Bletzacker– 1953 MG TD, Kurt and Kathy Jensen– 1969 TR-6, Nathan and Andrew Lundgren– 1970 MGB, Darin and Elaine Graber– 1955 MGTF 1800, Paul Jaroch and Emma– 2012 MINI Cooper S, David and Carol Marks– 1958 Austin Healey, Gary Lindstrom– 1960 TR3A, Rob and Melissa Morcross– 1967 Sunbeam Alpine, Roger and Tina Davis– 1967 Sunbeam Alpine, Drew Fink– 1970 MGB, Frank and Vicki Mousley– 1957 MGA, Steve Nelson– 1960 MGA Coupe, Clayton and Sharon Merchant– 1958 MGA, Dave and Anne Spendlove– 1968 Spitfire, Rob Foye– 1965 TR4, John Progess– 1964 Austin Healey 3000, Kim and Dan Bair– 1954 MGTF, Barb Progess– 1960 MGA Coupe

What an amazing gathering of LBC’s on a gorgeous Saturday morning. For the first time I’ve been with the group, I think we actually met up and joined, on-the-fly, a convoy on the way to the meeting point. I’d like to say it was intentional, but that would be just too much of a stretch! Coming off of a prior day of rain, warnings of “biting” gnats and a cycling event that we can only call the tour d’ Antelope, I think the count of cars was over 22 and had a classic Mini showed up, we most certainly would have hit the 22 and a half mark ;). Winding up the back roads toward Antelope Island Drive, across the causeway, weaving in and out of cycling groups (I think Andrew said it best when he mentioned that right hand drive was a severe disadvantage in that instance to see around them) and down to the Ranch on the island, the sun was out and breeze was calm and lunch was on. There were owls to see and the background sounds of LBC chatter, birds, breeze and Boy Scouts made the afternoon absolutely one to remember. Not to mention, I think there were more cycling stops for repairs than LBC’s, which is a hopefully a great, great sign for things to come for the Memorial Day Drive!!
Keep Motoring,
