Ride For Mikaela

 Ross Scatchard from Bliss Racing organized a charity ride to benefit our dear friend Mikaela Sienkiewicz.  The ride was at the Catamount Family Center in Williston, VT.  It's been raining in VT for what seams like the entire spring so it's fitting that it had to down pour Friday night and again Saturday morning before the ride.  The rain did stop and turned out to be a BEAUTiful day..(as Mikey would say).

Here we are pre-ride being greeted by Ross.  What a great job he did putting this event together.  A big thanks also goes out to the Catamount Family Center!

Here's the route Jake and I rode.  I'd say one and half laps.

The conditions were as good as could be expected.  Some sections were actually fun to ride!

Here's Jake ripping up a fun little section in the woods.

But most of it was a mud fest or wet grass!

The bikes took a beaten.  We bailed on the after lunch loop to spare our bottom brackets and drive trains.

Jake insisted on taking this picture.  He thought Mikaela might like it.  This kid just looks like he's fast on a bike, and Ross is pretty fit too..  ha..
