My brother Jason and his daughter Malory came down from Phoenix this past weekend so he could ride in the 109-mile El Tour De Tucson bike race. We had so much fun racing around town and cheering him on! We hadn't planned to race around town but because he was so darn fast we had a hard time getting ahead of him. We made it to our first cheering spot just a mere 30 seconds before Jason got there. Because we thought that went far to fast we had the bright idea to try and catch him at one more spot before heading to the finish line. But we ended up going across town and getting there only about a minute before he did. So then we got some quick food in the kiddo's and then raced to the finish. Since Jason was hauling butt we were going to have a hard time beating him there. Well, we made it but with only two minutes to spare. My brother, who will turn 45 next month rode in his first bike race and finished with a time of 5 hours and 17 minutes. He placed 668 out of almost 6,000 riders. Pretty cool, huh? He is such a stud!
