The Laramie Mountain Bike Race series first official race will begin June 21, but last Sunday’s preliminary race, the third annual Gowdy Grinder, tested riders abilities to handle weather, rough terrain and setbacks.

Mountain bikers from all over the world competed in The Gowdy Grinder in Curt Gowdy National Park, which revealed itself as more than a competition of man versus man--It was a competition of man versus nature and man versus himself.
It had rained all week and there was an uncertainty that the event was going to happen. Sunday morning came and the sun decided to peek out. Temperatures rose to 63 degrees, higher than it had been for days, and it became official the race was going to happen. Nature was not going to give in so easily though.
Many people sought refuge from the 45 mph winds in their cars waiting for the race to start. For others, they wore beanies, windbreakers and hid behind tents. But for many competitors, they spent this time to test bicycles and do practice runs.

The University of Wyoming is on the verge of surpassing their summer school attendance record set last summer with the help of the pell grant.
However, this will be the last year for students to enjoy this grant. University Associate Director of Institutional Analysis Sue Koller said the total number of students who attended summer school last year was 6,475, just a bit over the total summer attendance in 2009, which was 6,107.
Koller said she thinks the pell grant contributed to the spiked attendance of summer classes. The total attendance for this summer semester cannot yet be determined as the summer sessions are structured on a continuous enrollment schedule, Koller added.

Campus Ventures, an interdenominational Christian group for UW students, aims to help students find their relationship with God.
“When you look at how Jesus shared his faith, it was relationally,” Jennifer Steele, an intern with Campus Ventures, said.
“He wanted to learn others’ pasts and to lead them. He spent time with the disciples and talked with the Pharisees. He did not stand up on a pedestal and start shaking signs. And I want to share my faith like Christ shared it,” Steele added.
Campus ministries also include other groups like Fellowship of Christian Athletes, The Navigators and Revolve.
