Brian competed in another mountain bike race today, the Tour de Forest, sponsored by Gearhead, among others. This one was here in town, so we got the pleasure of attending and cheering him on. The course out at Craighead is very viewer friendly, so we got to travel around to different locations and yell and cheer and wave our signs (see pic below).
One of Brian's best friends, David, usually races with him, so for the J'boro race, David's whole family comes and we have a great time together! The kids all made signs yesterday to cheer their daddies to victory. Pictured above is Dawson, Kellen, Peyton, Owen, Ruby, Audrey & Hallie.
Brian and David were right by each other most of the way, and switched the lead several times. It was quite exciting to see who was ahead each time they emerged from the woods. As they approached the finish line, they were screaming down the hill, side-by-side, each determined to give it their all. They were neck and neck, going about 25 mph down this hill as they squeezed through the finish line chute. David eked out a second place finish in front of Brian who came in third, though they were only separated by a split second. (Last year they got 1-2, so we were bummed some other guy beat them this year!) ;-)
Here are the two studs with their trophy glasses!
