Training Camp

Alisha says: This past weekend we cruised to St. George for some outdoor cycling. The weather could have been better but it could also have been worse so I guess it turned out okay. The PCIM gals met up for some major time in the saddle. Saturday we had a rough start with several flats, rain, and mechanicals but the sun finally came out and dried us off as we rode to Gunlock for 6+ hours. It was super fun weekend of riding with the team.

Getting home was an adventure itself as the vehicle we were riding in ran out of gas on the freeway, luckily we were not that far from where my parents live and so my dad came and rescued us. If we would have been anywhere else we would have sent Dave off on his bike to get some gas. Kelsey's car broke down and had to be towed, and everyone had to drive through the crazy snowstorm. I can't wait for winter to be over!! I am glad that everyone made it home safely.

Dave says: We headed down south with Taylor and Mary who are a lot of fun and didn't mind braving some wet mtb trails. We stayed at my parents house on Friday night and were a bit dissapointed to drive down through a rainstorm to St. George on Saturday morning. However, we started with the most rocky and sandy trails that I could think of and found some rideable terrain.

I broke in the new Scott Spark on Church Rocks/Prospector, Jem, and Green Valley and am liking my new ride. It was great to get outdoors with some friends after a couple weeks on the trainer. On the way home, I-15 turned out to be one massive snowstorm and our poor bikes were covered. When we left, there was hardly any snow on the ground in SLC, but now it is back to January weather.
