One fun thing about mountain biking is seeing places in the state that we wouldn't otherwise go to. First was Vernal, and this weekend we got to experience the beauty of Richfield. It was a fun weekend. It was an interesting course, not a lot of uphill so it was fast the whole time which was tough. Kate raced hard and at the end of her race, she ended up getting beat by her friend, Natalie, that she had been racing all season, which meant that Kate beat her twice, Natalie beat Kate twice, and they ended up tied for 16th in the region! We laughed about that the whole weekend! Funny girls. Matt didn't have his best race, but he still finished hard and we were impressed with the whole JV A boys team, they had 5 riders finish in the top 24. That was pretty cool!
This wreck happened at the start of Kate's race. Ugh! I hate watching this. It was so dusty that the riders in the back ended up not being able to see well so there was actually a lot of wrecks at the start. Luckily, Kate was ahead of it.
