OK, I can't believe it, but Riley and Dylan helped power us up the south switchbacks up to Carter Lake. This was a bit insane, but all part of the plan with the wonderful Community Bike Tour that our good friends at Banner Health hosted on Sunday May 18th.
After 16 miles or so, we pulled off and looked at the face of this mountain...the decision was that the only way we could make it up, is if everyone pedaled. If any one of us quit, we were done for. Riley and Dylan didn't blink an eye, and up we went, all 390 lbs of us! I looked down and we weren't even going 3.0 mph, but we were moving.
I couldn't catch my breath at all, and Dylan says, "Dad, tell us a story.'' Ain't a good time D-Man.
We feel we're more ready now though....one month to go until lift off!
