The Weekend

We went to Page for a race this weekend, Rob hasn't been on a bike since March. It was great to see our friends at the races. Stieg's bike took 4 kicks to start, he struggled in the sand, still did great. He wrecked on the first loop and broke his clutch lever, we spent 30 min in the pit trying to find a lever, and then filing it down to fit. He only made it 2 loops but was riding really good on the second loop.



Go STIEG




We had these number 1's made for Rob at the first of the year, and just put them on the bike the night before the race. So I had to get a pic. Rob and Bert rode the team race, it was a great time for them. They both are out of shape and were arguing who was going to ride the 3rd loop. Rob lost out on that one. They had to start in the am. class instead of the expert, and Rob started. He came into the pit 16th overall, not bad for starting 5 min after the experts. Bert then got on and rode a loop coming in 12th. And it was up to Rob to finish. He came in at the end in 5th right behind 4th, he said he was too tired to try and pass 4th place. He rode awesome, but has been a walking ad for icy hot this week.

After the race we went to Hatch and stayed at my Mom and Dad's house there. Sunday morning my Dad said he wanted to go for a ride and show us something. These Moqui Caves were what he wanted to show us. Hard to believe the Indians lived in these in the winter. But pretty neat.

As you can see they sit along this big canyon.


We took a different road home and look at the view of Lake Powell isn't it beautiful.

I think Rob is feeling his age after riding. Sounds like fun checking out those caves. You will have to tell us how to find them.

Ah ha! You are now on my blog list! I am glad you started one, now I can keep up with you a little better (since we know how great I am about using the telephone- I know, I suck.)
We are coming to So. Utah for Christmas, but not all the way to SG, my mom rented a cabin near Zion. I will try to come down again soon.
Take care
