For those that plan to be here early, live locally, or have flexibility in their plans, you may want to consider joining us in escorting the Wall from Morgan, Utah to Ogden on the morning of July 29th.

Although not all details are firmed up, we expect to be staging at a location in Morgan, Utah at approximately 10:30 am on July 29th.  KSU (Kick Stands Up) at noon. 

Morgan is up Weber Canyon, approximately 30 minutes from the fairgrounds.  We could stge at the fairgrounds at 9:30 am if there is interest to ride from there.

The last Wall escort we did down the canyon had 300+ riders involved taking up 2 miles of roadway.  If you haven't done one of these escorts in the past, you won't want to miss this one!

If you are unable to ride or get here that early but can be to the fairgrounds by 1:30 pm, you can be involved in the setup when it arrives.

On arrival at the fairgrounds, we would appreciate all the help we can get to set up the wall in an efficient and in a respectful manner.  If we have enough volunteers, it will go up very quickly.

Gary,
The GOTG just got better!
In my last post to that thread that 'disappeared' I mentioned that I was going to be in the area from the 24th on thru the GOTG and I had asked that if you needed any help on the 27th, 28th, or 29th to contact me.

I will be there to ride and help as best I can. (as long as I can find someplace to park the toy hauler until Wednesday night)

I don't know why or how, but I found this topic locked.  I have now unlocked it in case anyone has tried to post.

The route for this ride has changed due to gravel concerns over Trappers Loop.  It will now go down Weber Canyon and out to I-15.  We will head north until the Fairgrounds exit (400 N). and enter through the West Gate of the Fairgrounds.

We are expecting hundreds of bikes for this escort, a similar one a year ago had us leading approximately 300.

We will be taking the more enjoyably and scenic route up Parleys and Mountain Dell Canyon over the top and down East Canyon.

If you can get to Ogden by the morning of the 29th, we are escorting the Wall to the Honor Field at the fairgrounds.  We will be staging in Morgan, Utah at the fairgrounds at 11:00 am, KSU at noon.  We are expecting hundreds of bikes for this escort.  We would love to have you join us.

We will have an earlier staging (9:30-10:00) at the Weber County Fairgrounds for those wanting to ride up to Morgan with us.
