Horrible Hilly Hundred

Ted has gotten big into biking. This weekend, he attempted the "Horribly Hilly Hundreds"...a 100K bike ride around our area that is ALL HILLS. HE ROCKED THE COURSE!!!

He recruited our friend Kev to do it with him. Here they are, the night before, getting some of their gear ready.
Here is the team fan club. We waited for them at about the 1/2 way point.

The bikers, pulling in for a quick stop.

Ted, seconds after crossing the finish line. This picture doesn't show it, but he dominated the last hill. Seriously. Passing people left and right. I almost missed the finish because I was so nervous for him, I had to make a quick dash to the port-a-potty. My stomach of steel.

His most loyal fans. I am astonished by his skill. I hate riding bikes. And who likes riding bikes UP hills for Pete's sake? As I realized long ago, Ted is the strongest and smartest man I know.

Way to go Teddy!!! I'm not sure what's so exciting either about riding up hills on a bike but for some reason lots of people out here do it all the time. Your welcome anytime to try out a hill or mountain or two out here!!!

Nice work Ted!!! I'm not a fan of the hills myself (unless it's down hill). Kass, next time Pepto up before the big finish cause porta-potties are gross.
