Me: We all survived the Death Ride!!...and it was a good time!

Bill and Wendy both unfortunately had mechanical issues (Bill had 8 flat tires!) but they still completed 3 mountain passes! Bob was thrilled with his day bettering last year's performance and finishing at 10 hours and 4 minutes! Way to go, Bob! Anna rocked the Death Ride! She's a little machine and finished at 8 hours and 25 minutes making her the FIRST female finisher! Woo hoo! I was super happy with my Death Ride day finishing at 8 hours and 45 minutes and was the 2nd female finisher! Big day, we had trained hard and it was a success. A huge thank you to Bob and Pat for coming out to cheer us on at mile 96. What a great support they were and fun to have them in Tahoe with us for the weekend!
