(Note I'm altering the date on this to keep things in order...)

So yesterday I had an awesome opportunity to go out with this girl I've been chatting with a lot online. We had tried to go out the week before, but things didn't work out. But they did yesterday.

I met up with Eric & Natalie at the mouth of Big Cottonwood canyon where we were going to ride our motorcycles up to Ogden to pick up my date. By the time we got to her house it was about 55 miles, and my butt was totally numb! We stretched for a few minutes a few streets away as I tried to figure out where her house was.... Yes I was a bit lost. But thanks to Ryan Madsen letting me borrow his GPS I quickly located where we needed to be.

After stretching for a few we went over and picked up Lacey. (She's really hot BTW...) We stopped to grab some water, and headed towards North Ogden Canyon. It was a pretty canyon, but kinda short. Right after the top you drop down into Liberty. We stopped in Eden for a quick break, before continuing on towards Huntsville and on to Causey Reservoir. On our way towards Huntsville I took one corner a little too hot, scrapped my floorboard, and went off the road! I was a little worried we were going to crash, but did my best to keep us upright. I checked back with Lacey to see if she was OK, and she replied fine.

We made our way to Causey Road where we stopped at a little cafe and grabbed some quick dinner. I tried their buffalo burger, which was pretty good. We finished up and made our way up to Causey Reservoir to take a look. Pretty empty. Then we started the ride back. This time we were going on the south side of Pineview Reservoir, and down Ogden Canyon. We of course were stuck behind some people who liked to go 10 mph less than the speed limit so it was pretty slow going.

Then of course came the sad part of the trip, taking Lacey back. Due to many things we needed to get back to SLC before it got too late. So we took her home, chatted for a few minutes, and started the ride back. Rather than take I-15 back (freeways suck), we took Harrison & Highway 89 back until we got to Farmington at least. Then it was back on the freeway all the way back. Before we started back the clouds looked really bad, so it was nice that we beat the rain.

It was a good fun cruise. It was nice to finally meet Lacey, and I can't wait to see her again. More and more I see I need a new seat and saddle bags for my motorcycle though. A back rest would be nice to for passengers. Well, there's all winter to get that stuff.
