Gunnison Mountain Bike Race and Hiking Mt. Timp ADD TIMP PICS

A rainy forecast had me wondering if the Gunnison race was going to be a bust. The pre ride was overcast and delayed for an hour because of lightning. Mark was able to pre ride when it opened back up. 

Mark said this Gunnison course was so fun! There's a climb right at the beginning and then some fun downhill. Merril, Maxine, Jack, and Juliet hiked Mt. Timpanogos. We met them at the hotel in Ephraim. We drove past the new Ephraim temple. It'll be open in a few weeks. The open house starts on Monday. If it was open, I would've run though. 

Saturday started overcast again and Juliet and I got there early to help at the registration table. Races started. Merril and the littles showed up around 12:00 p.m. but they had just paused for lightning. Juliet and I had been hiding from the lightning in the trailer since we didn't have a car to sit it out. We ate subways with everyone in the car and waited. 

NICA ended up canceling the race and it was a mad dash to clean up before the weather closed in. We got pretty muddy and wet.
