Richfield Mountain Bike Race

We are on our way to the Richfield mountain bike race!

Juliet, Jack and Merril left to preride the course. Juliet doesn't like how red her face gets after exercise so I took this picture but she'd only let me keep it if it was black and white. It was so hot!

The next day was race day! I volunteered early in the day and had to sneak out of the hotel room. I came back around 9:30 a.m. and they were all in bed together. 😆

Jack rode at 12:55 p.m. and it was hot! He did 2 laps in about 52 minutes.

Grandma and Gramps were there because Beau and Evan Campbell also ride for the Cedar Valley team. They get to see two sets of grandkids.

Jack's looking happy!

Juliet rode at 2:06 p.m. and she was supposed to ride 2 laps. The race officials started pulling kids off the track after 1 lap because of the heat. It was high 90s. 

When we were done, I was so hot and sweaty that I wanted to cool off any way possible. We found a field with the sprinklers going and ran through the sprinklers for a minute. I thought it was lovely!

I drank so much water and gatorade but still feel dehydrated. It was super dusty and my lungs feel gunky. We booked it home for showers and sleeping in our own beds. 😅
