I have been working on this for the past couple of months, and am happy to share my results with you. There is a flyer and write up in the newsletter this month (March) and here is the flyer for your consumption and enjoyment. The resort is spectacular, the area is gorgeous and the roads..........oh the roads!!!

First Bi-Annual Moto Guzzi
Utah Get-Together, N.A.R.

When: Thursday, September 6th-Sunday, September 9th 2018

Where: The beautiful MidwayValley in Northern Utah.

Host: Roy Shadbolt, rshadbolt@msn.com 801-589-4725

The fantastic Zermatt Resort will be the base of operations. We will be able to reserve a room for $139 per night plus tax (resort fees are being waived). You may reserve either a King single room, or a double Queen room. The new link has arrived!

Camping: I have reserved the Springer-Hollow Group site for those interested in camping for Friday and Saturday night. If there is sufficient interest I will reserve for Thursday night also.

There will be a fun ride available on Friday. About 120 miles.

There will be 2 group rides available to participate in on Saturday.

1. Will be up Chalk Creek Rd, to Evanston, then over Mirror Lake Highway and back to Midway thru Kamas. Approx 200 miles.

2. A dirt/street ride for those so inclined, that will include about 50 miles of easy dirt road (part of the Utah BDR) total about 150 miles.

On my calendar! Looking forward to it...

One suggestion I have made, is that your significant other fly in to SLC, then either you can pick them up, or they can rent a car, UBER, or perhaps even a shuttle up to the resort. The resort has a day spa, and the area has many nice amenities to be enjoyed. That way they don't have to ride along on your trusty steed, but they can still participate in the area. Just a thought.

I will have some maps available for everyone that wants to have one. The area has many roads to travel on, most are rated pretty high on the Butler Maps. I now have 2 confirmed for Thursday night, I will keep an eye on it and let everyone know about the group site for Thursday.

Thanks for your response.

That�s just off Trappers Loop on the Snow Basin road with the resort in the background. Used to all be public land at one time.

This is what I'm looking at for Friday Saturday at the moment, 2 tents

Actually can you tell us about the proximity of the campsite to the resort, will there be intermingling?
Can someone post an overview map?

It is approximately 2 miles from the resort to the campsite, and there damn well better be some intermingling!

I will see what I can do about a map of the area, but the road between is through a golf course for part of it.

The resort is very nice, and 2 guys sharing a room is about $70 a night plus taxes............pr etty cheap for this place.

Kiwi_Roy · « **Reply #13 on:** March 14, 2018, 08:29:26 AM »

Any idea what the split will be, too early to tell?

Utrider · « **Reply #14 on:** March 15, 2018, 01:55:27 PM »

To early to tell. I'm into it $200, so if there's 10 tat would be $20 each.

redhawk47 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 19, 2018, 10:43:31 PM »

I will be tent camping, probably arriving Thursday afternoon.

Utrider · « **Reply #16 on:** March 20, 2018, 11:58:20 PM »

And Dan makes, 3 for Thursday. I will wait a little while, but I'm fairly certain I will book the spot for Thursday night also. Thanks for letting me know.

After attending the NAR that JJ organized for Cottonwood, I am super pumped for the get together here in Utah for September. I met some wonderful folks in Cottowood as well as reacquainting with some of the fine people I have had the good fortune to meet at other events.

Let's DO this!

Coming out from Northern California Hwy 50 would be an interesting route. I wonder how the gas stations are along 50. Both my guzzi's hit the reserve at around 150 miles.

twowings · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2018, 05:08:45 PM »

Really looking forward to this! Thanks for all your hard work putting it together

Now if it was just happening THIS WEEKEND!!!!!

That is a great idea, you can easily do it. I believe the longest stretch is about 120 miles, from Fallon to Austin. The road is fun, and way better than slabbing along on I-80. My friend and I went this way to Pierre's Big Basin Redwoods event last summer, he was on a VERY thirsty Honda Valkerie, 6 carbs we were hustling along pretty good and he was getting in the low 20's. My big Stella with the 8.5 gallon tank just laughs at such things!

Be very mindful of your speed coming into and leaving some of the smaller towns along the way, the local LEO, like their revenue generating to be done by outsiders. The pass to the east of Austin is really pretty as is the one coming into Ely.

Unfortunately, I will be in Santa Fe / Taos during those dates with the wife, so maybe another year (?)

Looks fabulous, however, and northern UT is a beautiful place to ride that time of year!!

Super, I will make the necessary arrangements to tie up the campground for Thursday night then.

Thanks for coming out.

Thanks for your kind words Utrider!

You can find this "Limoncello" brand at BevMo, Total Wine, or you local State Liquor store.

As a matter of fact I do, quite a bit about it actually. My daughter's high school Volleyball coach is from the town in Connecticut it came out of, and when we played the school up in Oakley we would stop in after the game for a meal, and to hear stories about the place.

So cool you know about it, what's your affiliation with it?

twowings · « **Reply #29 on:** May 10, 2018, 01:32:10 PM »

We were 'gifted' a box of old AAA travel magazines and I went through them looking for stuff on Utah...looks like a cool place for lunch!
