Remembrance ride

Memorial riders gathered on April 26 at Spanish Valley Mortuary to escort a Colorado man who died in a motorcycle accident on State Route 128. Kevin “Mountain” Swoffer, 38, was riding with the B.A.C.A. (Bikers Against Child Abuse) motorcycle group when the fatal accident occurred on April 22. Swoffer was a veteran of the United States Air Force, and at the request of his family he was escorted by close friends, family members and bikers through Utah to Cedaredge, Colorado, for his funeral services on Monday, April 30. Moab-area members of B.A.C.A. and Grand Junction Harley Davidson served as escorts for the family in the memorial ride.
