Soccer, Camping and Rachel at MTB Worlds

A lot has happend since our last post. Here is a little summary of what has been going on with us.

Tyler tried out for his 7th grade soccer team and made it! This was the 1st time that Ty has delt with cuts on a team and it was great experience for him. He has not played soccer for many years and he is really enjoying the game. His team lost their 1st 2 games by just 1 goal. Both games were played very close and were very exciting to watch. Ty is playing mid-fielder and has had a couple of scoring chances. I am sure that he will be putting points on the board before long.

We did a camping trip a few weeks ago up in Flagstaff with the www.mtbaz.net gang and had a blast. We did a lot of mountain biking and tried to do some hiking. However, we got back to the Inner Basin area and were hit hard by a storm. When the lighting and hail rolled in, we knew it was time to head back to the car and call it a day.

Ty will be racing in the AZ State Road Race Championships next weekend up in Flagstaff. We pre-rode the course last weekend and it is a great course. Ty won the State Crit Championship earlier this Summer and he is hoping to add another jersey to his collection.

Our friend, Rachel Throop, is racing in the MTB Worlds tomorrow in New Zeland. She has started a blog to share her experiences at http://rachelthroop.blogspot.com/ . Stop by and be sure to wish her luck!!
