Race Team Season BBQ
September 15, 2006
Lambert Park, Alpine |
|
 |
At the Bowery in Lambert Park, Mike tends the dutch ovens.
On the menu: Mike's secret-recipe BBQ ribs with pineapple and
peppers (oops, I gave away his secret), BBQ chicken, Bruce's famous
taters-onions-n-cheese, plus all the trimmings.
The weather was cool, but the pavilion kept the rain off our heads. And
because mountain bikers are a tough bunch, a little cold front wasn't
going to spoil this party. |

salad.
Right: Kris and family dig in.
We had about 40 UMB racers and family members at the party. There was
plenty of food for seconds, and even for leftover lunches the next day.

Tyler grabs a spot near Richard, Kellie and family as the
puddles get deeper in the Bowery parking area. A bathroom and paved
parking area were added to Lambert Park this summer.
And if you got chilly, there were plenty of coals left
over from the dutch ovens to warm you up. |
| The Hutchings clan celebrates their 3rd season with the
UtahMountainBiking team. Right to left, that's Ben, Rachel, and Josh.
In the "swag raffle," every UMB racer got a freebie. Goodies
ranged from a hydration backpack to alien tools to boxes of carb gels. |

Justin Griffin received "Racer of the Year"
honors. He nailed an incredible 11 first-place finishes during the season,
the most of any racer in the Intermountain Cup Series, winning the season
championship in the 10-12 category. Justin actually did 16 races, because
he often raced (and scored points) in the Sport-Expert 13-15 category
after completing his 10-12 race. (Try riding FOUR laps around Snowbird,
and you'll appreciate the moxie this young man showed.) Justin was the top
point producer for the UMB team. |
 |
Racers received their official championship portraits. Gosh,
we're a good-looking team. Thanks to Jay Griffin (with occasional help
from the Nosacks, Hutchings, and others) for creating so many great photos
to choose from.
There was also a chance to fondle the Intermountain Cup trophy and have
a photo taken. Here Kris and Jolene take well-deserved credit as part of
the winning team. |

Great season!
Can't wait for 2007... |
