Mike brought Tyler and Cristian down with him to ride the Fall Tour de St. George. Kids under 18 could ride free with an adult so LeGrand urged the kids to come and earn their first biking medal in the 35-mile ride. Mike rode the 100 while Brent rode the 56-miler.
Christian didn't feel great a few times during the ride, but he wouldn't quit! Someone from Red Rock (the race sponsor) got a picture of him and posted him on their webpage. He was quite the sensation as the youngest finisher.
Tyler got tired of hanging around with Gpa and Christian so he took off on his own and had fun passing everyone in front of them. I asked him if he was sore after the race and he said, "I feel like I could go run 10 miles." Football training has him toned and seasoned! He never even broke a sweat.
Mike showed his remarkable abilities in this race. He stayed with the top riders the whole way, alternating point position and helping them to a great course time of 4:27:14 climbing an elevation of 6200 feet. They averaged just over 22 mph. To say Mike is amazing is an understatement.
