Pinecone and JackPine Enduros

Saturday, July 15, 2006 - Pinecone Enduro

Signing up under his own name, G raced this year's Pinecone Enduro in the Buddy class--riding with his Dad through 17 miles of single track in 90 plus temps. Quite an accomplishment for our little boy. Not sure who felt more proud--G, as he marched up to receive his trophy, or Mom and Dad, as we watched.

Getting his trophy to a collective "Awe" from the audience.

Dad raced the Jackpine Enduro Sunday, July 16th. Approximately 60 ground miles in 95 plus temps. He placed 13th in the Senior C 30 and over class. And he is still enjoying the sense of accomplishment. This is a race he has talked about for years. Now it is one he can say he has done himself.

Red Bud 2006

Safe to say that G enjoyed this year's trek to Red Bud. Ricky won. Of course. And G finally got to meet him. Big moment. Thanks for getting us into the pits Dad!!!
