St. George Red Rock Desert Rampage Bike Race






Missed the snowstorm, clouds, and the cold. That's because I was in St. George racing on my lovely red mountain bike in the sun and dust. I didn't do good but I finished it at least and I am happy about it. It was a very tough course with lot's of climbs. I raced in the sport class and they did 2 laps, after one lap, I was about to give up, I was actually thinking about stopping. I actually got in the car and sat and thought about it. Then I just stuck up and said, "at least finish it". So I got on my bike again and did the last lap. I finished it in 1:33:21. It was very hard and I think I actually died at the top of the mountain. The trails were great and LOT'S of people! It was bumper to bumper during the whole race. Durke Gordon and his wife and kids were there. Also Ladd Bradley and his wife so I parked by them and had a good time with them. We were expecting Chris Juassi(my boss) to be there too, but he was at a home show for his company where I am working. He said he should be at the Hurricane race in April. I am going to go down a class next race(beginner). I have a lot of training to do!
