The temperature in Jackson Hole Resort was perfect at 70-75 degrees so it was a nice, sunny, cool day for a bike race to escape the Utah heat. All the racers are all from Utah and this race is part of the Utah bike race series. The race course wasn't one of the most physically challenging races but it was the most technical race of the series. It did have a lot of tight singletrack and service roads, it did have a lot of service roads for passing but they were awfully short. But the singletrack was really great for a bike race and there were a lot of it which made the race fun. A lot of roots, rocks, wood bridges, and twists. There weren't any long major climbs, instead there was a lot of up of down and each lap consisted 1,100 feet of climbing. My class did a full lap then a half lap. I finished 3rd in my class but still finished 10 minutes behind the first guy. There were only 4 guys that raced in my class. There were not very many people at the race so that means the ones that didn't come are real true time party poopers. Wish there were more people though. I got a ribbon, a Jackson Hole mug, and a $3 off tram ride coupon. I am planning to do next year's race also. I really didn't want to leave Jackson Hole, it was so nice up there.

Sweet! Looks like a fun race for you. It was a "perfect" 70 to 75 degrees where we went too!....for a LOW! Haha:) It's amazing how much elevation does..over the 4th we were in our jackets a lot of the time.:)
What did ya'll do after the race?..any pics of that?
..or besides the race I should say.
We just walked around Jackson and ate at a really good restaurant, Bubba's bbq. I had really good ribs there. Saw the horn arch and that's about it. Just went home after the race. Oh yeah, Becky went to a bookstore.
We ate at Sizzler in Pocatello, ID and ate the salad bar. Got to Becky's by 8:42(when I said we'll be there), went to bed, then got up in the morning and I just watched tv while everybody else slept until like 11:00. Then we ate the Olive Garden, then dad and I went home.
Oh yeah, after the race, mom and I picked up dad and Becky at the motel then we ate at Betty Rock Cafe across the street. I had a chicken ceasar wrap, dad had a milkshake, Becky had a cheese sandwich, and mom ate a salad. Then we went to the bookstore, then went home. I didn't want to leave though but had to because needed to get back home for work.
So basically you just did the race.
Pretty much, that's the thing.
Sounds like you had alot of fun! I'm glad the weekend went really well. I can't wait to see you guys for the Fish Lake trip.
Yeah me too! We missed you in Jackson though. Fish Lake should be fun.
