LOTOJA Positive Vibes for AuntieK and others

[Flybye]

Oh yeah - yeah - YEAH!!!!

Your pictures are great. I love hearing both the ups and the downs - like wanting to see your bike get ran over by a car I remember one training ride this spring in 30 mph headwind. Ten miles took everything in me and one hour of time. I stopped on the side of the road and cried. Waaaaa.... Found out the next day that I was coming down with the flu. Next time I'll be thinking of pitching the bike in the road It is so nice that you could provide encouragement for the last 5 miles. What a friend!

Thanks for the pictures and the write up. I so badly wished that I could have been a fly on the wall, um, er, bushes? helmet?

Congrats on what sounds like a great ride.

How does the relay work? Do you have a designated amount of miles that you have to ride or a maximum number of riders per relay team?

I am SO doing this ride next year!

Congrats on your accomplishments, ladies!

A relay team can consist of 2-5 riders, who must switch out at designated transitions points. There are 5 legs of LOTOJA. Each team can decide which leg of the race each rider rides. The person riding has to wear a timing chip around their ankle. The timing chip is transfered to the next rider at the switch out.

Yeah!

Well done AuntieK and Elbow Gash. The headwind notwithstanding, sounds like it was a wonderful day.

I probably won't be ready for this next year but a relay team sounds really fun. I will have to give that some serious thought.....
