The start to a really wet and muddy day. Race cut short because of the conditions After 1 loop, total muddfest Took a big spill down a steep hill. Not a fun day, way too muddyPrerace parking lot, wet but still had a chance to be fun The night before, Bryson City down town
Pulled in to Grand Canyon NP to an unexpected snow storm. Camped in my car but still made for a cold night! Cold sleeping arrangement Walking the rim to Hermits Rest Me & Tony start the hike to Phantom Ranch Cold & windy Warning signs along the trail! Heading into Phantom Ranch Central guest house for meals Our bunks with several snoring men Chow time. Family style dinner. Great food and companyThe Colorado River on the way back up to the rim
Finished! Rain soaked course making for tough day. James finished strong and I finished eventually. Really fun day and great to race with friends. Slid right off the trail & over the handlebars. Not too bad for how wet the course was.
