Hurricun

Actually, that's Hurricane as in near St George, but pronounced Hurricun. The Cholla Challenge was last weekend. Rich had missed the first race in St George because he caught a cold. Cholla has never been his favored course and with iffy looking weather, we were debating about going down. We settled on staying in a hotel instead of camping (sorry Scott that you're still short 1 requirement for your Bear).
The weather ended up being nice, Rich did well in his race on his brand new retails-for-more-than-our-cars-are-worth mtn bike. Rich didn't feel great about his race as he was 10 minutes behind the winner, but that winner (Utah's own phenomena,Bart Gillespie) beat a past national champion who was racing (on his behalf, Jeremiah Bishop did have flat).
Ian and Scott raced. Scott and Heidi played with biking legend Lynda Wallenfell's children, and the only real mishap was by Tanner who after seeing his toilet options chose his leg instead of the port-a-potty. An added bonus to the trip was a warm 10 mile trail run.
