Our trip to Logan Utah was great. We went up Friday night, looked around the sweet campus. I love red brick and most of their buildings were all red brick. I think I get that from my mom. Mom you would have loved the campus. After that we had the traditional night before the race dinner at Olive Garden. This is a tradition for the Steve Hortin Family and those that are with them. Yum!!! Ruby loved the bread sticks. After dinner we took ruby for her first swimming experience (besides the bathtub). She liked it about a 10th of the time. it was freezing. We picked a bad pool to swim in for her frist. We did manage to get some pictures of her smiling.
Luckily I think she was enjoying the cold water at this moment.The next morning Matt drove me over to meet the other bikers. We started at 7:15 am. It was perfect weather. The country up by Logan is gorgeous. i loved the ride. There were times that I can only see one person in front of me and one person behind me. I loved it. i did pretty good for my first Century. There were a couple of funny stories from it as well. At about 69 miles my speedametor was reading 100 miles. I was feeling pretty good but was a little confused why i felt we were not even close to the finishline. I asked another biker how many mile we had gone and when they told me 69 miles i about crapped my pants. I still had 31 miles to go. I did make it to the end within 5 1/2 hours, but 1/2 mile or less to the finish line i managed to blow out my tire. Luckily there was a great biker who stopped and helped me fix it. I learned that road Biker are some of the nicest people.
