LOTAJA

Wow where does the time go!!  I have a feel like I need to catch up in the blogging world before the holidays get here!!

So after the Finn and Sophie's birthday, we headed up to Logan!  Audy had been training all summer for LOAJA!  We left the kids with Audy's mom and drove up with Q and Chrisite and stayed at Q's parents place the night before the race.
I had no Idea what to expect from this ride at all, it was crazy and I didn't even ride!  Christie and I were the support crew.  I am so proud of Audy this was a huge accomplishment!!  206 miles, 3 states, 1 day!



5 am stretching.


Audy and Q

My brother in law rode as well.  Here they are at the starting line.

Me and my sister at the starting line.

Christie and Q.

Coming into their first stop, Preston ID.

 This was the last stop that I saw Audy before the finish line.  He was still smiling and feeling good by this point.  This was mile 175 only 30 more to go!

Christie and I had a great time being the support crew!   

Here is Audy coming through the finish line!!  
So Christie and I were having such a great time that we totally got turned around and drove to Idaho instead of Jackson and missed Audy coming through the finish line.... I was running to see if I could catch him but no he was already through just standing there waiting for me!  When I saw I totally started crying I felt so bad, but he was cute enough to get back on his bike and ride through again for a photo opt!

This was him waiting for me after he had already finished!  I was so impressed he looked so good after such a LONG ride!

What a stud!

So proud!

Q came through shortly after Audy.  These two were so awesome It was so much to watch and support!

so cute!

The day after the ride down by the snake river.

What a great trip!!
