RR: 24 Hours of Moab and the Grand Canyon
My family and I made our annual trip to Moab to do a little racing, riding, drinking, eating and reuniting!
I have a friend from the 612 -Mike- fly out and be our wrench along with racing with 2 friends from the SLC - Ryan and Dr. Joe- along with their families/support crew and last but not least Steven - cH4os - from STR so we had quite the crew! The drive is a drag when you have to pull trailers but you don't really want to tent it in the desert if you don't have to  , needless to say we arrived on Thursday morning, set up camp and started our "vacation". My daughter Madeline and our crazy puppy Penny  Throttles were a blast out there!!!  My favorite camper, completely cool!  Over the shoulder shot of Mike and Ryan  look closely at all that lovely sand!! The bottom of the sand climb, this thing sucked at 3 in the morning  Mike making it up after the sandbox  One of the multiple rock slab sections  The start, a lot of racers ready to go!  Steven with Granny  Steven heading out on his 1st lap  My daughter fared a bit better then we did. We were 49th out of 93 in our division but 151st out of 403 overall. Proud to say I had the fastest lap on the squad, not bad for a ssing clydesdale! I even paseed Nat Ross, because he had a mechanical and got passed by Chris Eatough like I was standing still. Those guys are the real deal!She got 3rd in her 24 Minutes of Moab race, she was pretty excited!!    Steven back from his last lap and it was beer-thirty!  The squad 24 hours later  After we were set to hit the road, we decided to take a little detour and hit Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon..it was beautiful!!   Maddie

more...
Mommy and daughter  The Grand Canyon  Cheesy family shot   The views are ridiculous!!     The shot of Traci wifying STR on the road  Goodtimes! If you have not made the Moab pilgrimage I highly recommend it and if time permits, hit the Canyon just wish we could ride there....I heard rumors you can ride somewhere on the Northridge  , that would be epic!

waiting
I was waiting for this report ever since i ran into you at AW the other day. Sounds and looks like you all had a great time. I really enjoyed the report but what i like most of all is that you are pumping up your daughter so much. When all is said and done thats what counts the most. Your the man bud, i cant wait to get out on another ride with you....
I will try my best to catch up! |
