Lance Armstrong
Jere, Abra, Leah, and Beth
This weekend was the first ever Tour de Pepin. Leah and Jere from Duluth, my high school pal Beth, and I felt like professional bike racers as we rode 72 miles around Lake Pepin. We even survived a wicked thunderstorm complete with lightening, high winds, and driving rain. A couple of times we formed an inefficient draft line. Except for a few sore butts and cramped necks, we thoroughly enjoyed the event. Although, Lance Armstrong and Jan Ulrich didn't join us, they were an inspiration. I kept thinking about how they do that for 21 days through the mountains of France. Our recovery involved naps, followed by beer, pizza, and pool at a local Red Wing bar. We are awaiting Trek sponsorship for next year.

Holy Smokes! 72 miles, sore butts is right! Looks like fun, I love the juxtaposed pics of Jan and Lance.
