LOTOJA
We train all summer....
We eat for it....
We sleep for it...
Tiffany and Rob come to town to ride....
It's a family thing...
Plus friends!
We love it, hate it, can't wait for next year, glad to have this year over!
We dig deep into our mental pysche.
After 206 miles we can't eat another banana, cliff shot, swedish fish or salted nut roll.
No more power drinks. Stomach cramps!
Bring on the shower, mexican food, biofreeze, ibuprofen.
The pain and tiredness wear off and the euphoria sets in.
We rode 206 miles in 12 hours 26 minutes.
The weather was fabulous. Winds were mild.
It was only 36 degrees and pitch dark when we started.
Tony and Katie crashed before the starting line and bent their front wheel.
3 tandems, 3 individuals in our group.
10 flats for the day and
We couldn't do it without our support crew.
Another great Lotoja experience!
At the Starting line, Tera, Jamie, Shauna, Kevin and Nate.
Kevin and Tiffany crossing the finish line!
Jamie glad to finish another great year!

LoToJa 2010 was not one of our better years...but at least it didn't snow on us and we had good tail winds for most of the day.
LoToJa 2011 is going to be an awesome year. Mom is going to ride the WHOLE thing on her own bike. I'm not going to race. Just ride and have fun with the family. Best of all, Mom gets to pick up her 5 year ring this year.
