Gunnison MTB Race and a Tahoe Story

Maxine's half marathon was the same weekend at Juliet's mountain bike race in Gunnison, UT. Gunnison is about 3 hours away. Merril was busy with rampage and I wanted to be at both places but just couldn't. On Friday, I drove up to Gunnison with Juliet for the pre-ride and checked her into a hotel. Danielle Jones and her family was staying at the same hotel and she was going to hang out with them and then hitch a ride home.

Team dinner the night before!


Juliet and the bike tucked safely into the hotel!


Danielle took care of her during the day and got her home safe!


Side story coming: We suspected that the Tahoe was a fire department vehicle and when I drove on the dirt roads for the Gunnison race, this ghost of the past made itself apparent on the window of the Tahoe. 


I sent this to Merril and he sent me this is response. He did a quick google search and found out that our car was once a part of the Philadelphia Fire Department. RC means reserve car-228. 


There it is! RC-228.
