Bike Around the Lake.... Again!

Okay, this was the 2nd annual bike ride around Bear Lake. It is about 50 miles all the way around. Those riding this year were, Troy, Mallory, Heidi Raso, Lori Vest, Dana Gruer, Victoria Knight, Jessica Horner, Rachel Horner, Chris Kukuchka, Scott and Laura Smith, and Matt Babcock. I am so proud of them for doing this. It was hot and the Sun was blazing and a lot of them got some sunburns. Jessica actually got Sun Poisoning. She has been throwing up and has had the chills and fever. I know how that feels because I have been through that before. It is awful! It's like the flu but worse because you have a bad sunburn to go with it. Anyway, the group started at the Church before La Beau's and then they rode north all the around to our cabin. They ate a quick lunch and then left to finish the last 15 or 17 miles. The worst part was when they passed Rendezvous Beach there was a big head wind that made the last 7 miles awful. They did it and then those left at the cabin (Me, Lora Lee Babcock, Beck Smith (the most adorable 3 year old EVER!), Michael and his friends Sam and Ashley) met them at Le Beau's for ice cream (Burnt Almond Fudge Shake). They were so exhausted after the ride and I hope they all slept well. I know that Troy did. He said he slept like a rock. (How exactly do rocks sleep?) This ride was part of training for the big MS Bike Ride in June up in Logan. However, the Bear Lake ride was harder than the MS bike ride will be. It will be only 40 miles and they have stops every 10 miles with drinks and other things (not sure what). It's for a good cause and I am so proud of each of them for dedicating their time for this. Lora Lee Babcock was going to ride but she found out recently that she is expecting so she has a GREAT excuse not to ride.... Victoria's sister Natasha rode the sag wagon. Much thanks to her! Laura Smith had these pictures taken so I stole them from her website. Thanks Laura!
