Kellie and I drove up to Snowbird this morning to cheer my brother, David, in the Snowbird Bicycle Hill Climb.  We met Jennie, Hunter and Kelton at the finish line to wait for and cheer Dave on.  The race started at 8 am and is about 10 miles long with a vertical climb up Little Cottonwood Canyon of about 3300 feet. The two fastest racers crossed the finish line in 45 minutes. (See the 2nd photo from the top.)  There was a kid who I swear was about 12 years old who finished in the top 10.  (Fourth photo from the top.)  Amazing.  Some of the early finishers rode back down the canyon to accompany friends back up. Crazy.  Dave did very well, finishing in about 1 hr 20 min.  The weather and scenery were beautiful.
