On our long run last Sunday, we decided to take a picture and show how teamwork works...Find someone who doesn't have anything else to do but carry 15 pounds of water and fuel in a backpack and ride alongside the runners. Sure beats lugging camelbaks (which we use for runs over 10 miles) full of water when you're supposed to have a nice long sunday run.
A few days ago we parked at the J.E.M trailhead east of the small town of Hurricane, Utah. This area is just southwest of Zion National Park in Southern Utah. It was a beautiful and hot afternoon on the desert.
After the sky cleared up we went riding for about 14 miles on the J.E.M trail. Such beautiful scenery awaited us! The trail itself was well designed for the adventurous soul with smooth and winding singletrack across the mesa with some fun technical stretches great for practicing bike handling skills. 
The J.E.M trail also edges alongside a canyon with the Virgin River approx. 60 feet below.
Then an abrupt change of weather came without warning the next morning....snow! It went from being 80 degrees yesterday to 36 degrees and snowing for a couple hours in the morning.

After 3 weeks of training and no races, I'm ready to have some extra fun!
