biking and apricot picking

This weekend was the Capital Reef Classic.. in Torrey Utah.. What a beautiful National Park and for sure a place I would like to go back to.. we did not get to do a lot of sight seeing as Aran had a buzy weekend. On Friday he did a Time trial in the morning and a 34 mile circuit in the afternoon and Saterday a 80 (!) mile road race.. All this in 100 degree heat!! with humidity.. brutal!!! he felt he did good, but the raod race was way too hot for having only two feed stations set up..

We did get to go apricot picking. You could just walk up, grap a stick and pick them from the trees, weigh them at the little scale and drop the money in a silver box... 1 dollar per pound..

Lilja enjoyed the experience as much as we did..
