Since we were new to this crazy sport we weren't sure what to expect with this race and for short notice, I think we did pretty good. Thankfully, Lifetime was a huge support and they gave us each a Lifetime 25 Year shirt for us to wear. With that, we decided to throw in a little twist, we wore TuTu's! Yes, the new girls from Lifetime showed up to LRRH wearing TuTu's! The night before the race we all got together to pick up our registration packets, we had a couple of stops in between which included the "Protect Your Junk" booth, they sold an anti chaffing cream. This was our all time favorite place to stop, and I must admit, it was probably because of their slogan... "Lube. Ride Hard. Repeat." Isn't that just so funny?
We woke up the next morning, got ready, and headed out on our 36 mile journey. I really didn't know what to expect because I had just gotten my bike merely two weeks before this event and I obviously hadn't rode that far... EVER! The first 12 miles were the hardest, I really thought I was going to give up. That attitude was completely mental because my body really was okay. After our first stop, I took a little goo and I was back on the saddle. It was such a pleasurable ride after that. Nearly everyone that past us said "Love the TuTu's", or made some kind of comment. That was a really good encouragement throughout the ride and it made it that much more fun.
Once the race was over, we decided to stay the night in Lewiston with Mary and her family. It was really nice to just take a break and enjoy our weekend away from home. It was a great experience with our little riding gang and I can't wait to do it again next year! Here are pictures of all the fun...
