Again, Ken will need to fill in all of the details later. He and his brother, Jeff, had a great time riding in this race together. They completed the 118 mile bike ride in barely just over 6 hours and had climbed a total of 9,000 feet. Out of all the group there were only 4-5 cyclists who would lead. Most of the group just drafted the entire time. Ken's training sessions on the mountains of Utah paid off as he was able to power up the Nevada "mountains" without a problem - except having to hold back so he didn't lose the group he was leading (Hey, they couldn't draft him while he pulled ahead! What was he thinking?! He was super human or something?) I found myself inspired: Seeing my husband pumping up a steep road and watching as his muscles strained under the effort, and still he propelled himself up and over the next peak . . . words cannot express it! I am so completely in awe of him! I have now vowed to do a non-competitive lengthy bike ride with him within the next five years ( I need to lose more weight so my knees can take it and live to walk me to the truck. :-) I love you Ken! You ARE Awesome!
