Ridin' and Rollin' in Park City

Just got back late last night from Deer Valley NORBA.......

Matt's blog gives a good recap on some features of the weekend, but I owe it to everyone to tell my funny story..

Saturday we rolled from our condo up to the venue in our rental suburban (sorry, it didn't have DUBs) with bikes and gear. Matt was racing XC at 11:30 and I was racing at 1:45 (which turned into 2:30). I took my time getting ready and decided to just relax in the 'burban and listen to my iPod. I rolled over to the bathroom with my bike, and then back to the car. Had the music on, unlocked the passenger door and lounged with my feet up. Decided it was getting warm with just the door open, so figured I would open the windows. Got the keys out to stick in the egnition, and for some reason the keys wouldn't fit. I have to admit, I tried several times to get that darn key to fit. Wasn't sure what the deal was (it must have been the elevation getting to me). Decided to go back to the trunk to get my phone so I could check the time. I walked back to the trunk and reached for the handle. Hmmm...... the handle wasn't where I was reaching.... Then I saw the word "YUKON" and realized....... THIS IS THE WRONG CAR. I quickly took my bike and moved 10 feet away to where our ACTUAL CAR WAS.

OK yes you are laughing at me. HOWEVER, this Yukon was the SAME exact color as our 'burban also had the same interior! AND the door was open (or somehow unlocked with my remote). So, yes I spent 15 minutes in and around someone else's car.

This is what takes the cake.... on the dashboard, while I was lounging, I saw a pair of Burton long fingered gloves. I was thinking to myself "who's gloves are those? who would be wearing Burton gloves out of our bunch? Maybe they are Trevor's and it's a single-speed thing?". even that didn't even make my brain register that perhaps I was in the wrong car.

I know I will never hear the end of this story, but I have to admit, as silly as it makes me look, it's a good one!

I will put up another post soon with actual recap of the racing and other tidbits!
