62 Miles?!

About two years ago Jorden watched the Tour de France for the first time. Since then he has become completely obsessed. He has studied the ins and outs of cycling and knows just about everything you can know about the sport. When the Tour was on this year he would wake up in the wee hours (about 4am) just so he could watch the race live. He talks so much about cycling that he even pulled his Dad and brother Chet into the sport. On Saturday there was the heART of Idaho Century Ride. There was a 25 mile, 62 mile, and 100 mile. The three of them decided to go for the 62 miler.  On the papers they got prior to the race it said, "Ride not for amateurs!" They have never done a bike race before but decided to go for it anyway. They all did amazing, and finished way towards the front.

We weren't ready with our camera when Brad came across earlier.


After the ride.
Jorden says he started cramping up really bad right when this picture was taken. That's why he doesn't look as happy as the other two!

I'm so proud of them but I'm afraid I see a lot more races in the future. Watch out Lance Armstrong here they come!
