Saturday Morning bright and early. From left to right the Treevolution
Riders are Pascal R.,Mike J.,Big Bad Bill, Your humble narrator, Steve
S., Mary J., David W., and the fast guy (Seriously I've worked here for
4 years and still haven't gotten his name).
At this point everyone and their mother has dropped me so I figure
I might as well enjoy the ride and take some pictures.
I caught up at the lunch stop when certain Stoners decided to hangout
and impress the ladies.
Dropped again
Hmmmm, If it still runs maybe it could carry me across the finish line.
I'm not slow I'm taking pictures yeah that's it!
Yes Virginia that is a Lama.
Crossing the finish line on Saturday. At least I can still walk!
Sunday morning at 8am it's really chilly the ride started about 15
minutes ago and I've already been dropped so I figure it was a good time
for a break.
Support dude, DJ, MC, and my chauffer. After the first leg on Sunday
I was completely trashed and got a ride on the SAG vehichle. Instead of
taking me all the way back I asked to be dropped off at the last checkpoint
before the finish line figuring I would meet up with the rest of the team.
While I was being driven around the country side Big Bad Bill tried
to figure out how to use the automatic timer on his camera with limited
success.
While being driven about I got to check out this happy butt bike.
After being dropped off at the last rest stop and taking a nap waiting
for the rest of the team to show up I realized that as soon as they showed
up they would drop me immediately so I headed off by myself on the last
leg only to find more darned hills.
This was a seriously steep hill that I had a hard time walking up,
but this postal employee didn't seem to have any trouble. (AKA, I'm not
walking up this hill I'm taking pictures thank you very much!)
Once I got in sight of the finish line I figure it would be in poor
taste to cross in front of my teammates who actually rode the whole way
so I had an ice cream and waited for them to show up. From front to back
I believe we have David W.,Pascal R., Steve S., and Big Bad Bill.
And finally the ugly deed is done.
Riders and support crew after the dastardly deed on Sunday. Mike J.
is missing from this picture but he made all the way on his own steam.
