Silverman Aid Station “Wild West” Theme

Nov. 7th, 2010  Silverman Aid station #10 – The River Mountains Trail Partnership once again sponsored Bike Course Aid Station #10 at the 100.0 mile mark on the 112-mile bike course for the full Triathlon.  The station was located at old Vegas Trail and Foothills Dr. where a connector trail drops riders off the RMLT on to Foothills.  This year we had a great team of volunteers show up (over 30) and many worked the station all day from set up at 8:00 a.m. to clean up at 4:30 p.m.  As the photos will show we had a wild west theme to help create fun and a theme to inspire our riders as they came throught the station.

They're doing water main construction. I live near there and was notified about the project.

Probably dropping construction materials to one of those mega mansions in the hill

Looks like a recovery or a rescue. Its been happening for a couple of hours.
