Wood Wins All

It's amazing what can happen when you put your mind to something. After watching the Tour of Utah last week and seeing some of the bikers of the Tour of Park City fly by as some of the PCRs prepared for their Saturday ride in Coalville, the BIG MAN thought, "wouldn't it be cool to win ALL 5 stages today" The first stage was to the bridge on the way to Evanston. What a beautiful morning, where the air was cool and riding two a breast was a treat up the frontage road. As the bridge came in sight, the BIG MAN waited for the right moment and FLEW by the pack to taste the victory of his 1st WIN.

Refueling. a quick visit to the bushes for some, and they were off to Henefer. Could the BIG MAN do it again??? He knew there might be a chance to win the second stage, due to the fact that little man and Prez. Hale were a NO SHOW!  BIG MAN, anxiously waited in the back (where he spent most of the day) to see if anyone was going to make a move. As they went over the bridge and started their downhill towards Grump's gas station, the BIG MAN said, NOW!  He shot past the field like a cannon ball and was once again smiling as no one could catch him..... WOW, two in a row, could he win three???

The next stage was a shorter stage, but had some intervals as the group took the Henefer loop. As the locals came out to cheer on the BIG MAN, he was also cheered by his fellow riders, "YOU CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT", and YES another electrifying finish brought a close victory for the BIG MAN!

Stage 4, the mountain stage to the Morgan County line, was going to be almost impossible to keep the streak going, by the BIG MAN still had hope. As he was left in the dust by the other 3 riders, he realized that his dream of winning ALL stages in a single day was not going to happen. The temperature was rising and the distance between the smaller riders was also increasing. All of sudden out of no where, Burner - The Biggest Loser Coach, shows up. "BIG MAN, is this all you have, now get off your butt and let's stop feeling sorry for yourself and get riding"   Then all of sudden the BIG MAN had the strength to left his head and sees ahead the leaders, Dr. J and the Professor, are pulled off the side of the road with what looks like mechanical issues........... AND Dr. J is trying to fix something, which means it going to take a LONG time so DON'T STOP to help, just fly by and take another WIN.... ;-)

Could the unthinkable really happen? Could the BIG MAN really win ALL stages in one day?? One more to go and it had a lot of down hill. Chances were slim, but the BIG MAN, with the help of the the Professor had a strategy, stay in the back and don't let anyone know where the finish line is. IT WORKED!  The team made it back to Coalville and Burner - Biggest Loser Coach, took off thinking that the car was the finish line, but in reality, NO, we had to make one more loop around town to reach 60 miles and Dr. J, put worth an effort to take away the win from the BIG MAN, but didn't realize that back to the car was the finish line and just because you see a STOP SIGN, doesn't mean you have to STOP!..... :-)

YES, it was a historic day and one that will live long in the memories of those that saw something unbelievable happen.......
