Snowbird Mountain Bout
Little Cottonwood Canyon, July 15, 2006
As usual, the Snowbird race was hot, tricky, and brutal. The UMB team
made a great effort, winning the team competition by a wide margin. On
this beautiful sunny day, 19 UMB riders made the legendary grunt up rocky
steep Dick Bass Highway followed by the spooky dangerous tram-road
descent, then on to that mile of fun singletrack in between. 17 riders won
team points. |
