Team Trip: Our annual team trip to Bryce Canyon (July 16-19) is even better this year with Teresa Deccio getting us the best rates yet at her family’s resort, Ruby’s Inn, (just $49 a night, unbelievable!)  She has set aside 20 rooms for the team. You have to book by May 15 to get this special rate and only the first 20 families will get rooms.  When you call Ruby’s Inn (1-866-866-6616), tell them you would like a room set aside by Teresa Deccio.  Or you can book it on-line at http://www.bryceres.com/rubys.  In the field that says “special rates” choose “group/block” and in the blank, put in the code “56G”. 

This trip includes a fabulous stay at Ruby’s Inn with swimming, dining, rodeos, horseback riding and shopping right next to Bryce Canyon National Park with many optional activities for athletes and families such as:

• Friday, July 17
• road bikers: 100 mile ride (or less if you bring your own support) on the ”most scenic road in America” through Red Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Escalante
• runners: packet pick up for Saturday’s race and spaghetti dinner.  See race website below.
• hikers: Escalante National Monument, Calf Creek Falls
• mountain bikers: Brian Head, Casto Canyon, or Powell Point.
• Saturday, July 18
• runners: Bryce Canyon half marathon and 5k run/walk race website 
• road bikers: 38 or 52 mile road bike race, Capitol Reef Classic
• mountain bikers: trail ride at Thunder Mountain and Casto Canyon. Carpooling may be available from LV for the day.
• hikers: Bryce Canyon National Park in the afternoon
• eaters: group dinner at Ruby’s Inn for everyone

For more information and to RSVP for any of the activities above, please call Suzanne Young at 716-2391.
