Last year was Matt's first ever bike race, Salt to Saint (Salt Lake to St. George). His team was named "Christine and the Broken Legs" because one of the team members, a PA that works at his office, is named Christine Brokenleg. He loved it. He rode his bike as much as he could in the summer to prepare for it. I drove down with Kate and Daniel to meet him in St. George. It was a challenge for him and he felt like he did well, a win-win in his book. Their goal was to finish the race. In the end they ranked somewhere in the middle of their group (I think there were about 50 in their group). That was a bonus, according to him
So here they go again! Three of the four people in their car are the same as last year. Brian, Chris, Dee, Matt, and Kelly. He hasn't been able to train nearly as much as he wanted to. but he's squished rides in during his lunch hour, going to and from Tyler's game at BYU on his bike, setting up my bike on a stationary frame so he could ride at night in our room, etc.
