Scenes from the 200 mile bicycle ride
Six of the eight guys at 5:00 a.m. preparing to take off from Seattle. Hubby is third from right. Group included our Pastor and two of his sons.
One of the hottest days - 98 degrees in one area and very humid . Not typical Western Washington weather.
The hubby taking a break about mid point.
The finish line at Lloyd Center In Portland, Oregon after 11+ hours of pedaling.
Our good friend Mike and the hubby race to the second finish line. The first one is out in 27 seconds.
**update. Forgot to give our good friend Kim credit for the pictures. She drove the SAG vehicle - I didn't get to go. The hubby corrected me to a bit over 11 hours on the bikes. But, the day was actually 13 hours on the road because they took rest stops as well as a lunch stop. They consumed an inordinate amount of fluids and snacks.

GO WAL!!!!!!!!!!
TWO HUNDRED miles? I look like they do in that last picture after I've DRIVEN two hundred miles.
Those guys are strong!
Kudos to Wal!
27 seconds? It took that long to crash after a crazy day like that?
Great photos too.
Happy THURSDAY :)
haha that last photo is good. They look worn out but ina good way :)
Good job, guys!!
Okay the pastor is the second from the right. One of his sons is first on the right and the other son is the one all the way on the left.
Am I right?
I'm a pretty "avid" biker - I bike at least 22 kilometres a day - but I'm a fairly lazy/slow biker and a far cry from looking as fit as that bunch!
I'm curious. what about the bathroom? do they take regular pit stops and such. the more I move my legs the less time my bladder will hold out. I'd be in serious trouble here.
Love the pictures, thanks for sharing. go Wal!!
Love the sleep of the truly exhausted!
I always get my right and left mixed up. When I read the beginning of your post and looked at the first photo I thought, "Your husband is black?...Oh, yeah, the other right."
I tagged you for a meme that I think you'll really enjoy doing so be sure to check it out!
!!
I am in awe. Congratulations from me to them!
Love the pictures!
Hugs,
