Last year Mike and several of my cousins biked around the lake. Well that got us going to train for this year. We made it, the 51 miles, well sort of - kind of!! We took off early in the morning and made it to the idaho border when I got a flat tire. Must have hit a thorn or something, it was crazy because I was in the same path as everyone else. Mike was prepared with an extra tube, as he was pumping it up, the stem broke so I was out of luck. I would not be able to finish the ride around the lake and was totally bummed. I then batted my eyes at Mike and asked him how much he loved me? Enough that he took the tube out of his tire and put in in mine, he was done. (NOW that is true love) So we called our awesome support person Uncle Wayne (thank you) and he came and picked up Mike. I took off trying to catch the pack and got about a block down the road and the new tube was flat again. I called Uncle Wayne again and he came and got me. The KOA over there rents bikes so we decided to try and see if they had any road bike tubes, but had to wait until they opened. They opened at 8 and it was a mircle they had road bike tubes and we bought them out. Mike got our bikes back together and ready to go. We ran into Cole my brother who was getting a late start (since he got in from Denver at 3 in the morning) at the KOA and we had our awesome support take us to the north beach turn and drop us off(so we road 42 miles instead of 51. We took off from there to catch the pack and we did. None the less, we all made it around the lake and were pretty proud of ourselves. We are going to add this to our many fun things we do at our reunion. When we made it around the lake we had the best fan club ever cheering us on, if made it so worth the ride to see our family there cheering. My mom was the biggest fan ever; she made the awesome sign that says "conquer the monster M Team". the M team is for my mom and her sisters that all start with the letter "m".
The awesome support and our fans!

Wow! Tara, that is wonderful. I'm so impressed. Bear Lake looks like a ton of fun. I can't believe you guys go for 9 days. That's a little crazy.
You look so hot in those shorts. That is so awesome that you guys did that.
Nice!
That ride is tough.
I hope you rewarded yourself with a raspberry shake.
