On Friday night, Wasatch Touring hosted a meet-n-greet followed by a bike ride to Liberty Park and back to the store. Doug Mortenson, pulling our Becker trailer sign, with Ralph and friends following close behind, led the pedal parade. Ralph was still wearing his suit from another long day on the campaign trail, but that didn’t stop him– he wears his suit when he bikes to Capitol Hill for legislative sessions too. There was a special highlight for Ralph– while returning on 7th East we saw Ralph’s granddaughter passing with her dad. She leaned out the window screamed at Ralph “for fun”, as we say in Utah.
Sallie Shatz took these great pictures–
Millcreek FIDOS is going to host Ralph this Saturday and you are invited!
Coffee, juice, bagels, donuts, and even dog treats will be provided before heading up the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, Terrace Hills Drive Trailhead. Paula and Gary Evershed have been kind enough to hold the event at their home (1013 Terrace Hills Dr.) starting at 9:00 AM.
Come meet Ralph and let him know your passion for our foothills, open space, your dog(s) and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
For more information contact Polly Hart at 231-8118 or by email at polly@millcreekfidos.org.
