Red Bull Final Descent, Jackson Hole, Wyoming

I just arrived back home from my first solo 12 hour race at the Red Bull Final Descent in Jackson Hole,Wyoming.  I finished with 78 laps, coming in second place.  It was a super fun, super challenging event.

I was pretty stoked to have survived that many laps.

The Red Bull girls were there to pose with the male competitors.  We figured they should have had some Red Bull guys for us ladies to pose with too...

This was a moose walking along side of the road on our way back to the campground we stayed at during the event.

These were the piles of antlers piled up in the town.

Summer Fun!

Summer is quickly nearing an end, but it has been fantastic overall!  Besides all the traveling and racing, Sean and I also did some classic XC riding in Colorado and some super fun days riding downhill in Angel Fire, New Mexico.  We also had some play days at Winter Park and Granby Ranch.  The doggies even got to join us on these trips, so they were also stoked to chase ducks and squirrels and bikes, and they were worn out at the end of the day.

Sometimes Bishop wants to go back outside and play.

And sometimes the doggies are exhausted from all this fun outdoors.

Yay berms! And yay beautiful weather at Angel Fire, NM.  It was rainy at night and sunny with awesome dirt during the day, like in this moment when Amber comes around the corner.
