Annual Alpine Loop Run and Raffle
Saturday August 19

Thanks to the stalwart efforts of Suzanne, Larry, and Mary Bishop, the club's annual anniversary celebration and fund raiser was another grand success. Newcomers may not know that it was after an imprompu run on this route about 20 years ago that the BMCU was born.

In fact, the initial posting of this year's photos on our web site triggered the following response from one of those founders, now living far away:

Thanks for the photos. Boy........did this ever bring back a flood of good memories of the very beginnings of the BMCU!!!!! Lillian and I always cherished that Alpine Loop run....because it was always filled with great friends.....run through spectacular country......and a fun-filled picnic and raffle. I can still remember one run where it poured up at Sundance.....I of course did not have the top for our TR-3A with me.......covered it with a blanket.....and about a dozen of us huddled under one umbrella.....with those of us on the outer fringe of the umbrella provided protection from water and wind for those lucky enough to have gotten under it first!!!!!!!!!!! I think that some of my stuff is still drying out!!!!! Thanks for the wonderful photos to remember how much we loved to share that run with all of our friends in Utah. --Pete and Lillian Gerity, The "New Mexico Chapter" of the BMCU.

Deep appreciation goes out to the donors of raffle items. Please keep their support of BMCU in mind when you are considering purchases in areas they serve.
