Lyle Pearson 200

Here is a picture of Dan (my brother), James Kuykendall and I riding the last stage of the Lyle Pearson 200 cycling race. We compted in this event June 2nd and had a great experience. Dan got us entered and organized for the event which races its way from Boise to Stanley and then to its finish in Sun Valley. Each person rode 4 stages. Some were solo and others had 2-3 three of us riding at the same time. This picture is on the 5 stage, which Dan, James and I rode together. I was fighting some cramps in my right quad at the time, so it is funny to see me at the front of the train smiling. We rode the final stage together as a team through a driving rain storm. Dangerous, but also fun. We finished 3rd in our catergory and 25th overall. Not bad for our first time in the event and we are all pumped to take another shot at it next year. FYI - in the pic, I am the first rider, then Dan, then James and you can see the shoulder of other riders from a team we see-sawed with all day. Dan and I will be in the Porcupine Hill Climb in a few weeks in Utah and then 7 of us will ride the Seattle-to-Portland July 14th.
