We Did It! (the MS150 that is)

Jen and I successfully completed Day 1 of the MS150.  We biked 85.5 miles in about 12 hours.  Here is our approximate route: http://g.co/maps/yd29n http://www.ms150.org/images/2009-BP-MS-150-Maps-2.pdf

Thanks to everyone who donated to support this great cause, thanks to the Laws and the Blanks for letting us borrow some real road bikes, and especially thanks to Jen's parents for coming down to watch the boys so we could do this ride.

Getting Ready

Important business.  There were this many port-a-johns at the start (and every rest stop) and usually there was a line.


 The sponsored photographers actually got some pictures of me, as opposed to Jen who they thought was a middle aged man.

It was great to get out and ride, even though Jen smoked me on most sections of the trail.

Good job guys! How in the world could someone think Jennie was a middle-aged man?!

I think that everyone the picture people couldn't find a picture for were sent the same picture of some middle-aged man. I know another girl on our team got what sounded like the same picture. Weird.
