The PCRs had a fantastic ride on Saturday to Brighton Ski
Resort. The ride started late (6:30 am)
to get more PCRs out of bed, but as usual, most were home in bed dreaming of
more yard work (Mr. Lloyd). The group
of four PCR riders were greeted entering Big Cottonwood Canyon by police who
had closed the canyon to cars for the PCRS and about 1,000 runners coming down
the canyon for a half marathon (95% were women, which caused Mr. Wood to keep
mumbling some strange word that sounded like Emerson). The ride, which took over four hours elapsed
time, but only 3.5 hours actually riding, included various stops for The BIG MAN to take photos and make new friends.
One detour included a ride to Dr. Gordon's house so the peloton could
gain more elevation for Strava. BIG MAN wanted to knock and ask for a free breakfast but Mr. MBA and Coach Craig were
able to direct his attention to other shiny objects.
The group made it safely to Brighton Ski
resort (not sure if Prez. Hale every made it to the top based on his Starva post being less than the rest) and had over 5,000 feet of elevation and a great view of the ski
hill. There was some discussion about
going up Guardsmen Way but the Domestiques were not able to vote. On the way down BIG MAN found more opportunities
to stop to get more great water photos and helped two ladies take a picture by the roaring river. The
final adventure was a ride through Holladay were the PCRs found a carnival with
a live band, booths, a small pony and an animal that looked like an Alpaca or
some strange giant goat (see video below).
Yes, The BIG MAN wanted to ride the Pony and sing on stage with the live
band. The group was home at 11 am so The BIG MAN could weed his yard and help his lovely wife with projects. The ride time was perfect as the rain started
at 11 am. The only bad news of the day
was the rain prevented Woody from helping his beautiful wife Jodi with yard work. (Next week, oh can't, has to play in a Father's Day golf event... what a SLUG)
