Victory!

Victory!!!
Deryn, Lynar, Joel, and Ryan all finished the 100 mile Tour de Cure Bike ride!
Lynar and Deryn! Isn't it great to have family that inspire you to do things you probably wouldn't do otherwise? Thanks Deryn!!!
Here is Lynar's odometer after finishing the race! They left at 7:15 am and finished the race at 3:45 pm or so. Deryn finished at least an hour earlier, but the other 3 guys stayed together. Of course, they had to stop and help with flat tires, hurt riders, and all the food. Lynar made sure he ate at all the food stops as he said it was heaven to see the rest stop with food which was every 10-12 miles. He wasn't hungry for quite a while after the race because he ate so much! Lynar thinks that he might attempt a 72 miler next month and 150 miler next year!! If you ask me it is insane!! I'll stick to my 5 K's and maybe try a 10 K next year!

yeah Lynar! Darrell's a bit jealous. He wants to ride in a similar type of race, but it hasn't worked out yet! Too bad you guys don't live closer so we can all go riding together (Jen can babysit the kids!:))

Good job Jen for running a 5K!
