LATOJA 2010

"LOTOJA is a road classic that is unparalleled in distance and beauty. At 206 miles, it is the longest one-day bicycle race in the country. LOTOJA participants come from all over the US to test their physical and mental stamina on a course that climbs and descends three mountain passes in the first 110 miles. The race starts in Logan, Utah and finishes in the shadows of the Teton Mountain Range at Jackson Hole, Wyoming."




And Sverre, Mick and Lawrence finished it last weekend folks. Quite the feat seeing as Sverre just picked up the sport 6 months ago and borrowed a bike from Mick to train, if you can call not ever road biking more than 60 miles "training" They did awesome and I'm really proud of Sverre. When he puts his mind to something, he does it - He doesn't care that he has diabetes, or that he has no time to train, he just loves to do new things and I love that about him. It was a killer hard race and that might be his first and last time doing it seeing as one is sitting on a seat that is the size of your thumb for 12 hours straight.
