Lee was in a 24 hour mountain bike race this past weekend that took place in Payson. It is some crazy stuff - they have a team of 4 that alternates taking laps around a marked trail and they race for 24 hours straight. In other words, no sleep and a LOT of biking....
Aaron and I went up for the last few hours of the race Sunday morning. He was very happy to see his Daddy and toddle around in the dirt at the campsite.
Anyway, they did awesome - between the 4 guys, they did 24 laps in 22 hours. They finished 5th overall in the team racing and 1st in their single-speed division ("single speed" means they ride in one gear the whole time - they don't have any gears even on the bike to switch to in order to make the pedaling harder or easier). I was so proud and impressed! Lee said that he had a lot of fun competing and it was a great time with the guys. Now, lots of laundry for me and hopefully he will be able to catch up on his sleep the next few days!
