Great Team!!!!
First the Tour of Utah begins! We start with the Trek Red Truck Team staying at Grandma's house for the weekend. After driving for 9 hours, they wanted to go for a ride and stretch their legs. So Jamie, Kevin and I gave them a tour around the block for an hour. And guess what...I didn't get dropped. These guys were fabulous guests!
Great Cyclist's !!!
Some of the Yea of Utah families volunteered at the Tour of Utah. In the mornings we watched the athletes roll in, get ready and Jeff Louder, who loves his fans, signed autographs. It was exciting to watch the kids meet riders that they only hear about. Thank you all cyclists, who take the time to make a youth and adults day!!!
Great Feed Zones!
What fun! I manned Feed Zone 2 at both Stage 1 and Stage 2. Riders came through in a pretty big group at East Canyon, so we were able to get water bottles out, but there were guys in the middle that we couldn't get to. Sweat, Pain and Water! Then on Stage 2, they rode around Utah Lake and started climbing the Nebo loop. Our feed zone was up the hill about 4 miles so the riders were spread out and it took longer than 30 seconds for them to ride by. Another day of sweat, pain, water and today, altitude!
Great Calves!!!!
Kevin, Haedon and I were lucky enough to ride in Trek Red Truck's team car following Rob Britton. Speed, Hold my breath around the corners and Go, go, go!
Great Finish lines!!!
Every finish line is so exciting, no matter who crosses first! This is the last day at the Crits!
Great Yea of Utah kids!
Look at this great group of kids that wanted to ride 100 miles in 98 degree heat! We did a 58 mile loop back to the park and then some of them wanted to do another 40, but the heat was a killer on Saturday, so the second loop riders did about 20 more miles. Look out when these boys get a few years of riding and training in. They are going to be great cyclists!
Great Road Coaches and lines!!!
Without great road coaches and parents, who are awesome, this would be just another ride. But we had parents who sagged and parents who rode and encouraged kids and Nate who keeps us all smiling. Great way to end the summer. The kids have one more race. Go get em guys!
Great Food!!!!
After a 100 mile ride, there is nothing better than sitting around eating hamburgers, hot dogs, carne asada and salads. Also sharing stories, ride ideas and recipes!
What great memories!

I so wish I was there for the tour of Utah. Sounds like it was a blast.
Love it. I'm glad you guys were able to have so much fun with all the riders and your rides. Even if it was really hot all week.
