These girls had their region mountain bike race in Gunnison last weekend. Where is Gunnison you ask? Well, it is a pretty remote town in central eastern Utah and the drive there (and the drive between the race course and our hotel in Richfield) was STUNNING!
I love the friendships that mountain biking has created for all my kids
These girls work and ride SO HARD!!!
Marian has raced varsity this year and I am sooo impressed! For most races she does 4 laps which is over an hour of racing!
Go Lucy go!!!
So much grit and determination is required of these kids.
There is so much beauty in the backdrop of these races.
It was a little cold during staging...but I think they would take that over excessive heat any day!
Lucy rode so hard and held her 5th place spot the entire race!!! Just before the finish line she got passed and it looked like she would come in 6th but she dug deep and gutted it out and pulled in ahead by 5 100ths of a second!!!! Way to go Lucy girl!!!!
Making podiums is a BIG DEAL and Lucy has worked so hard and wanted this so bad so it was SOOO fun to celebrate her success and hard work!!!
