Tour of California

We enjoyed a road trip through Las Vegas to get to San Bernadino, CA to watch the Tour of California bike race. We had a great time visiting friends as well. Here's a few of the highlights: The Strip, after seeing "Mystere" by Cirque de Soleil

Chillaxin' at the pool (lazy river & wave pool even)

Met up with several of Jeremy's friends from Med School days....the crew, waiting for the riders


Here they are, & here they go
(of course as soon as we got into town we heard Lance had to drop out of the race, bummer.)

It was fun to run along side of them & shout for them to go faster! It was a HARD day of climbing for them!!!

Ben & Tiffany were able to join us in LA for the time trial


Keeping the corners tight

Visiting the Windemuth family in Murrieta, CA, out for a hike in the nature preserve (yes, in California, amazing!)

Moab mania

We were able to get a group of friends together & head down to the desert for a couple of days. While we were gone, Alta got 40" of snow of course (they're closed anyway)...but it didn't matter because we had so much fun mountain biking and jeeping. The conditions were perfect for riding, although a bit cool at night (35 degrees to be exact).
Sun & smiles on the Baby Steps trail

Riding under the rocks


Morning views of Castle Valley (Tom's 'tent')

Dead Horse State Park: fun & scenic, new 9 mile single track!


Jeeping down Long Canyon


Enjoying the new "Moab brand" trails, slickrock galore.
