Ride Sun Valley Nationals

Yesterday, Zach showed some home town presence by competing in the National Mountain Biking competition being held at Bald mountain.  No stranger to the mountain or the sport he glided into the finish winning his age group and getting second overall.  I was toting Dax around on my chest and barely had time to jostle to the finish to see him come in.
Zach & Ian ready to ride at the start.

Mama and Dax cheering on daddy.
 Luckily, our good friend Sarah was alert and ready with her camera.  Her husband, Ian, also ran the course but was cursed with a flat tire mid-way thru the race.  Frustrated but always a good sport Ian changed his tire off a narrow single track and finished out the race still beating a majority of the field of bikers, and thankfully all the chicks ;)

Ian crushing thru the first part of the race.

"D" is for daddy & Dax at the finish.
