This is the Official Website of the Temple Riders Association Inc.

The Temple Riders Association (TRA) exists today because in 1987 two couples who were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) were motivated to escape the typical motorcycle environment offered by local motorcycle groups. They decided to plan their own "Temple Ride" which would include attendance at two Temples connected by miles of breathtaking mountain scenery. It was such a rewarding experience, they decided to look for other like-minded individuals, and in the spring of 1988, six couples met together and organized the Temple Riders Association.

As stated by the founder of the TRA, Frank Reese,



"The concept of Temple rides grew out of our desire to add a spiritual dimension to the joy and freedom associated with motorcycle riding. We felt that we could be faithful to Church standards and still ride a motorcycle."
