Lonie and me after the "Salsa Two-Four"

Man Down!

Lonie has had his ups and downs this summer.  One of Lonie's ups was placing second at the "Salsa Two-Four" Mountain Bike Race 4 hour solo event.  I also decided not to do the state road race and do the 4 hour race too. I was happy to finish first at that "beast" of a course.  It rained the night before so the first two laps were interesting!


Last week we did the last Murphy Time Trial.  Lonie had his best time yet with 42 minutes flat, despite some muddy conditions.  I was a little slower that night, but good enough for the win!  Thursday night we headed over to River Falls for one more chance on the course before the "Border Battle."  Lonie took off like a bandit and was charging hard.  All of a sudden, Lonie's crank hit something and over the bars he went.  Lon said it was the hardest crash he had ever had.  Lonie separated his shoulder and then somehow it went back in place on its own.  Lonie has been to the doctor two times and they think it is getting better.

I raced the "Border Battle" and it was great!  The course was perfect and weather was stellar!  There were 17 pro/elite women!  I finished second to Kim Eppen at the race.  Kim is a tough rider and I was happy to be 1:54 back from her.

Next up is training for Chemqy LCR style!  God bless!!

Fun week!!

Lonie and I did a double-header this week.  We raced the Murphy TT and then Buck!  Great TT with about 50 racers or so.  I was lucky enough to win a $150.00 gift card from BRose from Free Wheel!

Our own Dawn LeTourneau hosted an amazing fundraiser for Brendan Moore's family at Buck!  Super gesture for a family in need.  Lots of racers for sure.  Fireworks, bouncy house, face painting, and bike racing.  Lonie and I are proud to ride for such a great team!  LCR is the best!

Next up..........Murphy TT and the state road race August 14th!

God bless and keep riding!
