As the summer season draws to an end and a few of the PCRs
prepare for the LOTOJA, 206/3/1. Let's hope that
all the training, riding, chatting, picture taking, meeting new friends, helps
them finish this EPIC ride without too many flats and bonking. One of the training rides was held early this month, The Ultimate Challenge, Stage 5 of the Tour of Utah. As some of you know, this summer was the third hottest on record for Salt Lake City and why would anyone want to ride approximately 100 miles and 10,000 feet of climbing in the heat? (Who's dumb idea was this?)
The Pros gave them a four hour
head start, knowing that some of them might die and getting their bodies off the route might
cause some traffic issues. Nobody died, but some of them wish they had. The group
started with all smiles and finished 20 minutes ahead of the pros. (Taking a
nap after 60 miles kinda hurt them) Joey, Adrenaline Junkie Wood, brought a
friend, Logan, to ride with the geezers and he wanted to show these old guys
how it’s done. On the way home to pick-up his car, he rode through the
Country Club gully and couldn’t ride another foot. Can you say, BONK!
(Thanks Joey for picking him up in your car to get him home)
Prez Hale's better half reminds us all of why we do this with a little note for her man at dinner.
The Joy of the Journey is Best Measured by the Friends
Not
the Miles!
Continue to ride strong and ENJOY the Journey.

Who's Dumb Idea Was This Ride?
