British Motor Club of Utah

The picnic is “ON” for Sunday, Sept. 12th. Marty VanNood will provide hot dogs, buns and condiments. Everyone else bring something to share “pot luck” style. Entrance to City Creek Canyon is in the Avenues at Bst. and 11th. in the LDS Hospital area. Time will be early afternoon, TBD. I’ll be asking us from up north to meet at Checker Auto Parts in Kaysville, we all know where that is. We’ll trundle south to the capitol and City Creek.

BMCU members north of SLC who will be meeting at the Checker Auto Parts in Kaysville, it’s at 315 W. 200 N. just east of I-15 at the Kaysville exit. Meet at 12:30 PM for at 1:00 PM departure on the Main St. route. Those that would rather of course take I-15 into SLC. Main St. route takes one hour from Checker to the gate at City Creek Canyon Park. Party starts at 2:00 PM at the park.

Any and all questions call Paul at 801.389.8940 (bughous@msn.com)

The BMCU’s 22nd anniversary Alpine Loop Run will happen on Saturday August 21, 2010. “No one” has stepped up to organize it. We will meet at 9:30 AM or earlier at 8:00 if you would like to have some breakfast at Mimi’s Café. The café is located east of the mall parking lot we are meeting in on the west side of State Street. We are meeting on the east side of the South Towne Mall (take the 106th South exit off I-15 going east, enter the mall parking lot off 106th South or from State Street about a block north of 106th South). We will plan on departing at 10:00 AM. For those who are coming from down south, we will be stopping at about 10:45 AM for bio-reconditioning at the C-Store and Chevron Station in Alpine just before SR 92 enters Alpine Canyon.

Bring your own lunch or find food in Heber. There is no raffle this year and no one is preparing food. “No one” didn’t know who to contact to reserve the pavilion at the Heber City Park. “Someone”, however, made the reservation, so we can again use the pavilion we have used other years. Turn left off the Heber main street along the north side of the park. Turn left again across the grass between the cones toward the pavilion.

Here’s our route

- “No one”

I wish I could take credit for this idea but that honor goes to Paul Jaroch who made the the initial contact with the restaurant and determined that they were very excited about having the club come in. We will meet this Friday evening, August 6th, at 6:00 pm (for a 6:30 pm departure) from the parking lot of the Riverside Branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library. This office is located at 1575 West 1000 North (just east of Redwood Road on the south side of the street at the bridge over the Jordan River) in Rose Park. From there we will go down Riverside drive, over to I-215, then up the Legacy Highway and some side roads to our final destination, Little Taste of Britain restaurant and English grocery. For members in the north end of the valley, you can meet us there at 1095 North Main Street in Layton, UT, at about 7:00 pm.

(more…)

We’ll meet at Hogle Zoo at 9:00 a.m. for a 9:30 departure through Immigration Canyon, proceeding East on I-80 we will have a secondary rendezvous at Silver Creek Junction exit 146 at a Sinclair Gas station around 10:00, leaving at 10:30.

Proceeding on Highway 40 towards Heber we will turn off on SR-32 going east to Francis, Woodland and on SR-35 to Wolf Creek Summit where we’ll picnic, From there we’ll head towards Hanna, Tabiona and then turning right on SR-208, proceeding west on Federal Road 40 back to Heber. In Heber there’s a Smith’s Grocery store that we can stop off for a potty break and farewells.

Bring a lunch, expect this to be pretty much an all day event if you have any questions for me you can e-mail me at Larry.Farrington@octanner.com

Hope to see you there!
