British Motor Club of Utah

The BMCU’s 28th anniversary Alpine Loop Run will happen on Saturday September 10, 2011. We will meet at 9:30 AM or sooner if you come earlier, 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.

We have the Heber Park reserved and they are letting us park on the lawn again. The sprinkler boxes will be marked/painted, so please do your best to avoid driving over them. Enter behind the  backstop, and drive across the lawn and park near the pavilion.

Bring your own lunch or find food in Heber. We have received a few items from Moss Motors, Victoria British and Harbor Freight, so we are going to have a Raffle!  So be sure to bring a nice fat wallet to buy extra tickets. We can always use extra donations, so if you have something in your garage that you know you are never going to use or can get a gift certificate or merchandise from a vendor, please bring it along and we will add it to the Raffle Prizes.

Just in case any of y’all have missed Floyd’s emails, we’ll be gathering again for the Park City Miner’s Day (Labor Day elsewhere) Parade on Monday, September 5. We’ll meet at 10 am at the top of Main Street in Park City.

This is an event we talked about at the Pot Luck dinner. This is the latest and greatest info.

When: Saturday Sept 17

Where: Hill AFB Museum, just off the ROY exit

Time: Registration starts at 7:00 am closes at 9:00 am prompt!

On Friday evening August 12 at 7:00 PM we need BMCU, Bike Club, BAHC (Austin Healy), WMJR (Jaguar) and SLCN (Salt Lake Community Network) volunteers with hammers, staplers, and stiff floor brooms to help set up the venue at Liberty Park (northeast quadrant).

On Saturday morning August 13 some volunteers with set-up equipment would be appreciated at 7:00 AM to clean up any damage to the venue that occurred during the night.

On Saturday morning August 13 at 8:00 AM many more volunteers are needed to help with registration and placing the cars and bikes on the field. Most cars should be in place on the field by 9:00 AM.

The Chow Truck should be on site by 10:00 AM.

Volunteers to help with BFD teardown would also be greatly appreciated beginning around 2:30 PM and usually ending by 3:30 PM.

I just got back from doing the Trappers loop to  check out the roads. The roads are fine with little construction so this should be a good outing. The weather is supposed to be sunny and 89 deg. The temperature in the mountains was 15 degrees cooler than the valley today! So make plans to be at the Hogle Zoo between 9 and 9:30 for a scheduled 9:30 am departure. Let’s get everyone out for this should be a spectacular run. See you there!
