Taming the Tetons
Jackson Hole, July 22, 2006

On a hot sunny morning in Teton Village, UtahMountainBiking.com dominated the team competition with a solid win. The 6-mile loop has 1100 feet of climbing and is almost all singletrack. The rocks and roots make this one of the most difficult -- but most fun -- races on the Intermountain Cup circuit.

Photo at left:  Jolene, Julie, and Suzi sweep the podium in the Women's 35-plus division.

Several UMB riders camped along the 
Snake River with their families. Here 
Chad, Dom, and Matt discuss proper
marshmallow roasting technique.

Bruce Argyle stands and sprints for
the finish, taking 4th in Men 50-plus.

Chad Hunter fights through the woods
and makes the podium with 3rd place in
Singlespeed.

Carlee Hunsaker handles the technical
track as first-place girl, taking 
3rd overall in 10-12.

Dominic Bria heads down the final
twisting section toward the finish,
taking 3rd in Beginner Men 40-plus.

Dave Larsen fights through to another
1st-place finish in Sport Men 16-18.

Eric Taylor rides to yet another 1st 
place in Beginner Men 16-18.

Kris Nosack cranks out a 2nd-place
finish in Beginner Men 40-plus.

Here's Suzi Bria, riding to 3rd place

on her way to a 2nd-place finish in
Sport 16-18.

Matt Flygare heads uphill on the
singletrack, riding to 5th place in
Sport Men 30-39.

Scott Hunsaker leads Kris through the
trees. Scott grabbed a ribbon with
4th place in Beginner Men 40-plus.

complete a lap on this fun technical course.
Mike took 1st place in Sport Men 30-39.

Left:  Tyler Margetts has reason to smile as he
crosses the finish line in 1st place for Sport Men 
19-29. Tyler has dominated the Beginner Men 19-29 
division, so he's moved up to Sport.

Thanks to Diane Argyle and Kris Nosack for the race photography. Mike Engberson handled logistics of campground reservations and team cookout. Richard Williams (Kellie's dad) was one of our "team chefs" all three nights, and acted as general team support. And thanks, racers and families, for your sacrifices in coming to Jackson Hole. This race moved us into first place in the 2006 Intermountain Cup team competition. As this season began for our little team, who would have thought we'd be in contention for the title?

The after-race BBQ featured tons of
good stuff. Over 40 UMB racers and family
members were at this mid-season feed.

Mike cooks the burgers and dogs. Bruce
did the dutch-oven taters'n'onions.
Richard made the dutch-oven cobbler.

Mike's wife Lisa serves up the
watermelon. And after the sun went
down, s'mores.
