Ride for Fallen Officers

We participated in the annual ride for the fallen officers this year.  It is an amazing event to raise money for officers that have died in service.  This was our first time participating in something like this.
We got together early with some people we knew to ride out through Tooele and into Provo.  That was fun, but since it was early, it was chilly.  Everyone met at the Harley Davidson.  I couldn't believe how many bikes there were.  Here is a shot of just some of the bikes there.
 Another section of bikes.
Jason and I getting in the line to start the ride.  We felt pretty out of place, but it was for a really good cause, so we didn't care.
We rode up through Provo and over South Mountain.  It was really pretty!
 Here is a shot from over my shoulder.  It was great because it was police escorted so we didn't have to stop at any lights.
 Look how much fun I was having, I don't think Jason even likes to ride the motorcycle.  Ha Ha
The ride ended at the capital.  Here is a shot through the city.
 They had flags there, one for every fallen officer in Utah. 
 They also did a 21 gun salute.
 This is the group we went with.  We didn't know most of them, but they were all very nice!
We are looking forward to another ride soon.

  1. That's no fair! I thought that once you had a kid you have to sell your motorcycle?!?! At least that's what Kathy told me. We sold ours two years ago, and I still miss it.
