square ice cream

Heading home from Jackson and saw that a gas station was advertising "World Famous Square Ice Cream!" I mean to take a picture of it, got a little carried away eating though.

waterpark

Wow- haven't posted in forever. Sammi and I hit up the water park on Friday to celebrate the 4th. Raging Waters is only 12 bucks after 4pm!


Sammi would probably kill me if she knew I posted a picture of her in a bikini on the internet...

After two hours of running up stairs in the sun to hit every slide I realized my legs were getting a little tired. Not the best prep for Solitude the next morning but hey- how often do I get to hit water slides. We went to the fireworks in Sugar House later on and got rained on by burning embers. Some guy next to us got really burned and was running around swearing.
Sure enough I was a little tired at Solitude the next day (though I think Deer Valley last weekend and the work week were more to blame than the water park) and was lucky to take the win. BZ is flying right now and was keeping me honest.

So I am mtb. state champ for another year- I need to be sure I get in shape earlier next year so Bart doesn't make me embarrassed to have the title when he crushes me in the early spring!

Otherwise I've been super busy with work and getting settled in to Sammi's house. I managed 11th at the Deer Valley Natioanal last weekend amidst the craziness, some stitches and a bruised rib/pulled back muscle. I just tried to keep a consistent pace the whole time and it ended up paying off. My top 20 call up didn't hurt either. Not sure how that happened!

Did a killer mtb loop with Ty, Derek and Jim in PC today- 3.5 hours with some snow up at shadow lake and a new trail called Fat Lip. Super sweet- it'll be a classic soon.

barbeque time

4th o july

headed up to breakfast at Brighton with Lesha, Linsey, and Carolyn, and then hopped on the bike and headed up Guardsmans to ride crest for the first time this year. SO much fun. trail is in awesome condition and except for lower big water the trail wasn't too crowded. time now for breakfast #2, a nap, and then dinner at Mom's.

new shoes for the epic

schirf's blog

Right on, Schirf is finally blogging again... schirfphoto.blogspot.com. check him out, he takes some pretty sweet pics. He's going to start posting one pic a day for the next month, and I thought I'd follow suit and try to post a pic a day. I figure for the first post I'll start with some pics from a trip to Seattle this past weekend with Lesha.
