LOTOJA - 2019

The 2019 season finale is once again in the history books. All the training, climbing, singing, chatter and new kits paid BIG dividends for many. There were a couple of PCRs that had to bow out last minute, which created a MAJOR void in the pace-line. However, those that did ride found stronger, better looking riders to help them endure 200+ miles, 3 states, in 1 day. (Read More) Two of the seasoned riders, Dr. V (19 yrs) and Prez (7 yrs), thought they should lead the 60+ yr. old riders to Preston, ID and as you will see below were picked up by the local news. Big Man was quick to text everyone when he saw this picture wondering, who did the photo-shop. He didn't remember Prez pulling AT ALL!

KOT and Mr. T were part a three man relay and are still confused why their time was slower than Prez's, who rode the whole 200+ miles by himself??? It was a first experience for Mr. T and he chose wisely to ride LEG 5, which is the prettiest and easiest leg, from Apline to Teton Village. How are you part of a relay of three and only have to ride one leg????  He was requested several times to keep the pace below 20 mph. You would have thought he was in a race.

The younger legs, Mighty Morgan and Big Wake Nelson never stopped to say hi to the "geezers", but they sure had nice NEW kits. Those young guys are always trying to make a fashion statement.

Big Man requested in advance to STOP and take a picture on the Snake River bridge as they came into Teton Village, which was SPECTACULAR. However, the NEW guy, Mr. T, thought he would give a lesson to a few on how to clean a vacuum. Let's just say, it was good he had extra energy or he might have gotten lost.

As the four geezers approached the finish line, Big Man had a dress rehearsal to make sure everyone was in their proper place, with the proper arm lifted to make for a FANTASTIC FINISH!

Remember, it's not how fast you start, but how strong you finish!

 "How do you like our NEW kits?"

 Need we say anything more?
