Fire Road Race

Tyler hasn't done many mountain bike races lately, but when he saw there was a fire road race coming to Cedar he couldn't resist. He did really well and climbed like a crazy person....I will never understand his love of that pain. We watched him ride down main street behind a police escort out of town, which was pretty cool. He even made the front page of our local paper!

Here are some pictures I stole off his blog. Check it out if you want the complete details.

Above: 45 miles in and still smiling. It was practically all downhill from here. Hmmm, my leg extension doesn't look so great here. Yeah, unbeknown to me, my seat post was a slippin'. Photo by Fire Road Cycling.


Above: Crossing the finish line with plenty of energy. Not good.
