Cache Valley Joyride
Sherwood Hills, Logan. June 17, 2006.
This was a great race. The trail had just enough moisture to hold down
the dust. Skies were crisp blue. The beginner-class race was held early
while it was still cool, with temperatures warmer but still pleasant for
riding for the later sport-class. At Sherwood Hills, 15 UtahMountainBiking
riders competed in 16 races. We had 4 first-place finishes and 3 second
places, with 10 riders hitting team points. Justin Griffin did his usual job of blowing
away the competition in 10-12, then went right back out on the trail to
take 2nd-place in Sport-Expert Men 13-15. We welcome new team members Shon
Hender and Carson Wick, and Tyler Margett's father Russ and brother Ryan. Aaron Smith moved up
to Sport 18-29 for this race. |
