Almost Done
My amazing husband-to-be just before the finish at the Galena Grinder.
The High Life
My volunteer duty at the Galena Grinder was to sit at the very last trail junction and call out racer’s numbers to the timing booth at the finish. This allowed the timing booth to announce the finisher’s name as they completed. About halfway through my duty the race director, Marc, delivered me an ice cold Miller High Life. I was understandably excited.
Marathon Racers
The marathon race at the Galena Grinder was a grueling 45 miles. The winner completed the race in a nauseating 3 hours and 39 minutes.

Congratulations to all the riders in the Galena Grinder! Caught this shot as the pro, expert and sport riders were leaving the start.
Wildflowers at Galena

Have a great weekend! I’ll be heading back up north to watch my husband-to-be compete in the Galena Grinder, look for mountain biking shots next week!
Yankee Fork
A view from a high ridge looking down into the Yankee Fork drainage. I’m cheating – this image was taken by my fiancée Mike.
Road Less Traveled, Galena

Biking and Sheep
Happy Monday! What did you get up to this weekend?
On Sunday I headed to Galena Lodge to mountain bike some of the shorter trails while Mike did a test run of the Galena Grinder course, which he’ll race in next weekend. At one point, I eased my bike (Gisele) through a band of grazing sheep.
