A while back we went and watched Tour of Utah when they were doing the North Ogden portion of it. It was so much fun to see the guys we watch on tv or read about!! Zach has always loved biking but he has got me watching it now and it's quiet interesting!! We both have bikes and yes Zach's has been used a little more than mine but thats what a baby will do to you!! Anyways here we are on a beautiful summer day waiting for them. We were at the top of the divide we wanted to watch them finish the climb.
As you can see Garret was very into it!! He was such a good boy!!!
And here they come!! These are the guys that were fighting for the points of the first man up the mountain. One guy stood up and screamed and he won it!!
Some of the leaders
And now for the peleton. This is the big group that is chasing the leaders.
After we watched them do the second climb (they did this climb 3 times) we went to a park to eat lunch and then we went to the bottom of the divide to watch the decent. Which if I did again I would be on the other side of the road!! Those cars are nuts trying to keep up with their cyclist and I was pretty sure one was going to roll right into us!! Of course it didn't happen but hearing the tires squeel was not so comforting!! Here is garret now awake just laying in the trunk. He loved being outside!
And here come the leaders
This next guy's tire popped right in front of us. Scary time to get a flat coming down that hill but they had the tire changed and him on his way in about 30 seconds it was awesome to watch
This picture doesn't even show just how fast they were going!! I now beg Zach to NEVER go that fast!!
Everyone had bells they were ringing and there were people from every where!! The people we were by were from California. All in all it was a fun day!!
