We took a long Sunday drive to scope out a new bike ride. We talked with some friends about going all the way around the Oquirrah Mountains and we wanted to check it out first. Along the way we stopped at the Great Salt Lake and got our feet wet. It was salty. Actually it was on the nasty side. I guess we can scratch that off the list of places to visit.
We were excited to check out the Tour of Utah. This was a 5 day bike race that brought in some of the top US pro teams included a few guys who rode in the Tour de France. We went out on the second day and watched them climb Big Mountain (near East Canyon). We had our cowbell and cheered on the racers.
We missed 2 days of the race as we went to Bear Lake for the shop's annual Treasure Hunt/BBQ. The kids had a blast but the wind blew so hard at night that our tent was pressed against our faces.
The next morning after we got home, we went out to Tooele to see the final day of racing, a time trial.
It was pretty boring plus hard to know who was in the lead. We were rooting for a Utah native who was 30 seconds behind the leader and he caught him for the overall win.
Dave took off for a few days with some friends at the end of the month. They went up to Banff, Alberta, Canada for some golf and the Stobbe Invitational, their yearly competition. He didn't come in first but didn't come in last either. 7 guys in an RV for 5 days. You'll have to ask him for stories.
The end of the month brought the first day of school for London and Summer. London is in 3rd grade and Summer is in 1st. Noah will start in September.
The first day of school also brought some excitement at the south end of the valley. The mountain was on fire!! It was a few miles from us but sure looked impressive.
