Since folks have a few questions regarding the Winter Escape rides this weekend - here's the scoop The Best Western Coral Hills is the second most affordable hotel we could find in St George, but with an indoor pool and hot tub and continental breakfast. For reservations 435-673-4844. Located at 125 E. St George Blvd the motel is only one block from the Pizza and Pasta Factory and the Painted Pony, 2 blocks from Cafe Rio and 1 block from the Nielsens custard stand. This is the second Best Western when driving west from I-15 the ride plan is as follows: Pending confirmation of the route mid-day Friday and the re-building of all the missing bridges - the plan is to ride out through Santa Clara and Shivwits with a 35 mile turnaround at Gunlock Reservoir or a 60 mile out n back up to the Veyo Store(s). The longer route option goes south before Gunlock and hits Littlefield then Mesquite for lunch somewhere and a nice 50 mile ride back to St George. Sunday's ride looks like a route over to Hurricane then on to the base of the big hill at LeVerkin and back. Stores are few and far between so bring plenty of drink and food for the amount of riding you want to do. The ride is self supported which goes along with the low entry fee which is zero. Some folks have spare space in their motel rooms available if anyone is looking to save some bucks - but I dont have names yet. If you are looking for space or have space to offer - post it to the list. If you're planning on going how about dropping us a note off-list - that way we can have som idea of who's in and who's out. The southern weather looks like lows in the 30's and highs in the low to mid 50's, compared to teens to low 30's in Salt Lake - which is why we're riding this weekend -- down there. Don W.
