Yesterday was El Tour - a very fun and exciting day around here. The kids are a little upset that they have to get up at 5am on a Saturday, but, it's only once a year! We went down to the Convention Center to find Rik at the start - it was easier than last year for some reason - they seemed a little less crowded together. If you can't find him - Rik is the one in the UPS jersey.
Then on to the Kid's Ride. There were 400 kids and their parents riding in this. Philip goes FAST!!! Here he is after his ride with his well deserved medal....
Then we went and drove to the 75 mile point to find Rik again.... he looks pretty good for 75 miles doesn't he?
And back to the start/finish line....
The kids made this really cool sign while we were waiting for him to come back - we're going to have to watch the El Tour highlights show - there were at least 2 official El Tour photographers that came along and videotaped them making their sign!
And here he is - 109 miles later - with a time of 5:39:42... at the finish line - almost 1/2 hr faster than last year! Yay! Too bad he had his crash in September and the flu this week - he might have won the race!
