ANOTHER ONE IN THE BAG

We've come to the end of another season of cycling. The last race in Utah was on September 27th. The Harvest Moon Criterium was held in Ogden. Rachael came with us. We were to the race course early to enjoy the Farmer's Market. We enjoyed wandering around, seeing the sights and enjoying the smells.


(Was it to be a bike race or a horse race - notice the racer painted onto the horse)

We met up with Cindy Yorgason and had lunch before the racing began. My assignment for the day was the Wheel Pit. I haven't worked the wheel pit very often. You have to pay attention to the race so that if a rider comes into the wheel pit, you can get him back into the race at the correct place. We had quite a few racers in the wheel pit, they came in with lots of construction staples in them.

Richard was the Assistant Judge, with Doug Murry as the Chief Judge. They did a great job working together to score the races.


It was a beautiful day for a race and ended with a great win by Mike Booth in the 1/2 race. As you watch the video, notice Ira Tibbits jumping in excitement as his teammate wins. At the very end you will see Richard hard at work scoring the race.



We have had another GREAT season. Worked lots of GREAT races with lots of GREAT people. We have learned new things and been able to put them to use.

(I think we are already looking forward to next year!)
