This will be the first of many Memorial Rides to follow - hopefully. The purpose of this ride is to remember our fallen members. Since it has not been determined if we "ride to eat" or "eat to ride", I thought that a ride activity that included both riding and eating would be appropriate . . We will make our way to the Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch in Loveland.

Once there, we will relax for a bit until we can mount horses and do a trail ride off someplace and have a Steak Dinner Ride. Later, we will return about dusk and make our way back to Denver on I-25, hopefully before it gets totally dark (a concern for some of our riders). The estimated time for returning to Denver is 9 p.m.

The fee for the activity will be approximately $48.00 per person. They will also have 4x4 access for those that choose not to ride horseback or who might have physical limitations that might prohibit them from riding. We will need to collect monies and pay a deposit as the time approaches. There will be more details in the June newsletter.
