Tour of Utah - Cedar City

The main reason for our trip to Cedar City was to see the stage of the Tour of Utah.  Ryan is a big cycling fan and love to follow this race and see as much of it in person as he can. 

 

 

Before the race started we picked out our spot and waited for the race to start.

 

 

When they peloton came flying by the kids loved cheering for them.  Emily in her batman outfit ran along side the racers for a bit like the people do on TV when we watch the Tour de France. 

 

 

 

While we were waiting for the peloton to come back around we explored the campus and headed over to the start/finish line to check things out.  Grandma grew up in Cedar City so it was fun to walk around town with her.

 When the race finished we walked down to where the teams were staying and the kids got to meat a few.  The riders were very nice and talked to the kids and signed stuff for them.  They even got some Jelly Beans from Team Jelly Belly.

 Ryan loved this part too. 

 

 We were also celebrating a couple of very special birthdays today.  Emily and her Grandpa. These two are very special to me and it is so fun that they get to celebrate together.
