I decided that since Jary was so willing to show off his spandex, I ought to do the same. This particular picture is of me mountain biking near Zion National Park. We were at a family reunion and I was able to borrow my brother-in-law Nyall's bike for the ride. If you can't tell, I am utterly exhausted! Mountain biking was one of the most tiring things I have ever done. Of course, my brothers-in-law who were biking with me showed no signs of being tired. Here I was, the guy who was supposed to be in shape, training for a triathlon, and I was by far the slowest. A humiliating experience to say the least.
I have to say that I fared much better on my road bike a week later. I rode in the Bob Lebow Bike Tour in Nampa, Idaho. There were five different courses, ranging from 3 miles to 100 miles. I decided to try the 35 mile course. I loved it! The scenery was beautiful and I didn't get any where near as tired as I did mountain biking. The course had two rest stops that broke up the ride into approx. 12 mile segments. Here are a couple of pictures from the beginning of the tour.
