| June 3rd was a beautiful day in the North
Fork of Provo Canyon, with pleasant temperatures and sunny skies. The
UtahMountainBiking.com team dominated the competition at the 2nd annual
Sundance Spin with six 1st-place finishes, three 2nd-places, and three
3rd-places. Despite fewer total riders than last week, once again
we set a new record for team points as we solidified our hold on 2nd place
in the team competition and gained ground on the 1st place team.
Incredible effort; impressive riding! Two team members missed
being in our pictures: Todd Neumarker, new to the UMB team, took 11th
place in Sport Men 30-39. Kellie Williams left the race site to go to the
hospital with a kidney stone. Get well fast, Kellie! And thanks to Jay
Griffin for the Sundance Spin photos. Either we're looking more awesome
every week, or Jay is becoming a real pro with that camera... Probably
both. |
