Lotoja 2009

This year Ian got to ride in the Lotoja with my Dad and brother Brian. They had 5 guys on a relay team and Brian rode solo. Mom and I drove with them in the 4Runner. One of Dads partners Jeff, rode the first leg then handed off to Dad who rode the second and Brian rode with him. Then Dad handed off to Ian for the third. Dad and Brian did end up riding the 3rd but never caught Ian. Ian handed off to another of dads partners Larry who handed off to another guy on the team.
Crossing the finish.

They all decided not to ride the 4th leg and skip to the 5th so we all got in the car and drove to the exchange point so they could finish the last 45 miles.



After the finish.



This is the only picture I am in and we didnt get any of mom.










Scarfing down a sandwich before they head up the "king of the Mountain".














After the 3rd leg was finished we drove to the 5th leg exchange and dad couldnt bend over to get his shoes on, because he was so stiff, so like a good son Brian stepped up.








A cool shot I was able to get of Dad leading Ian in the middle and Brian brining up the rear.



















Ian is getting ready for dad to come in and hand off to him for the
"King of the Mountain ride" its suppost to be the worst part of the
race.
