Headed to Fat Tire

Heading north towards Hayward, Wisconsin to attend the Fat Tire mountain bike race tomorrow. It's been our obligation for the last nine years to place ourselves on top of the Seeley Fire Tower hill to cheer on the riders as they climb the steep, rocky hill. Bike man and I have climbed that steep hill ten years ago, so I totally understand those intense expressions on the faces of the riders. Cow bells, grilled brats, a beverage of joice......that's our support to all the riders. Should be a fun time, but I usually loose my voice by mid afternoon.

We are doing a bottle hand-off to our rider friend (awesome racer Mark Lewis) on top of fire-tower hill. This is serious stuff, even down to standing in the exact place every year to hand him the bottle .....every second counts ya know?

Hope to get some good photos.
