Heading down Provo Canyon......
Alright, it's time to rest up finally although sometimes I am not sure we know the meaning of rest.
Stan's NoTubes Elite Team
As luck would have it Oh-"I definitely know how to ride a bike"-Ran was in town too and was willing to join the madness.
So Brad took us around the parameter of St. George heading from the Red Rock bike shop to the Pioneer Park Trail, Paradise Canyon, the Zen Trail and back. But it wasn't without incident of course - it is a group ride after all and we all took our turns with problems.
Ohran was first with his SWEET out of the box 09 Cannondale Rize and working out the normal kinks.
Chris was second taking Ohran out in the process as he crossed a foot wide gap (Ohran following). Chris's front tire burped taking him out, leaving Ohran to fen for himself and make a choice of either running Chris over or casing it himself. Everyone was ok.
Brad was next, with shifting issues. Who needs the big ring anyway I say? Just 150 rpm it! :)
Then I decided to run over a nail.
Happy after a good 3 plus hour ride.
Not bad weather here today.
Boy did we luck out today with the weather today. After Chris ripped some runs at DV early in the am and I pulled off my very first head stand in Yoga (yes!!!!.....took 2 years) we drove to St. George and encountered rain, snow and fog almost the whole way down. But when we got out to ride Church Rocks there was no rain and the soil had soaked up much of the storm.
Oh and they even have free pecans because there are two massive pecan trees in front of the bike shop. We only took one with us since it was raining CATS AND DOGS and we had to head for cover!
As for the cool (what comes around goes around) thing that happened for the day.............
When I got out of the car I must have dropped my leg warmer because when I came back out to the car someone had hung it on the car. Had they not done that I may have never seen the thing. That was nice of someone to do. Now rewind about 10 hours when Chris was walking through the parking lot to work. Chris noticed that some guy had unfortunately left his sunroof open and it had started snowing BAD. Chris ran back to his car, got some towels and placed them over the sunroof. That was a nice thing to do to and it paid off I guess with me getting my leg warmer back later in the day. Don't you feel all warm and fuzzy now? Yeah, me neither. :)
