The following notes are collected from SLURM's social media, among other places, and document many of the wonderful trips we've been able to take with y'all over the years.
June 14, 2025: For this month's SLURM, we will meet at American Plaza at 10am (bring bikes -- or grab a GREENbike across the street!) and embark on a tour of new Livable Streets, CIP, and other infrastructure on the westside. We'll return back via the lovely 300 N bike path and bridge, ending at the Red Bull soapbox race happening on Main St. Route & POIs.
Post-SLURM Note: Lovely tour, great conversations about lots of little things. Took longer than expected so the transfer to the soapbox race (which much of the group took) was not great.
March 8, 2025: We will be meeting at 7:30 PM at the usual place (American Plaza downtown) to take the 8:03 p.m. FrontRunner southbound from North Temple. Please be punctual. If all goes well, we'll be on Amtrak going northbound at about 9:30!
December 21, 2024: Reminder: SLURM on Saturday (12/21) [1] starting at 6:30 p.m! Join us (at American Plazah, duh) for: 1. Riding around and looking at pretty lights. 2. Badly singing Christmas carols. 3. Free Hot Cocoa and Cookies
[1] Originally scheduled Dec. 14th @ 6:00pm, rescheduled

August 10th, 2024: We'll meet at American Plaza at 12:00 p.m. and head off for a ~2 hour bike ride, wherein we'll sample some of SLC's finest biking (9 line, Parleys, 6th E, etc.)

July 20th, 2024: Join us this coming Saturday, July 20, at American Plaza at 11:30 a.m. sharp as we head to Ogden to visit the world's largest operating steam locomotive; Union Pacific's #4014! Please be punctual, as we will be catching the 11:40 Green Line northbound.

June 8, 2024: This Saturday, June 8th, we will be visiting the open house at Stadler's Salt Lake City factory. For those wanting to join us on a bike ride to and from the factory, meet at American Plaza (47 W 200 S) at 10:45am for an 11am departure. For those who wish to carpool, expect to meet with @averagejoejesse sometime around 11:30am. Plans are not finalized, so SLURMers are encouraged to dm us to help with planning efforts and to RSVP, we currently have limited seats. For those who wish to meet us at the factory for one reason or another, expect a rough meetup time of noon at the factory (5880 W 150 S). General Event info: stadlerrail.com/en/media/eve…
Post SLURM Note: Recognizing the ride to the Stadler facility is long, hot, and not on the best infrastructure, Jesse organized a carpool. Noone signed up, so we ended up cancelling it. Photo of the Stadler bike rack from Mike
