I did the Ronde Von Palouse in April and it was a brutal race with wind, snow, wind, gravel, wind, freezing temps, and more wind. The weekend after that was the Northwest Collegiate Championships put on by WSU and the UofI. I drove lead car for one of the road race events on the first day. There was also a Citizen’s Road Race after all of the collegiate racers finished. We only did one lap of the course since the wind was blowing so hard. Sunday was spent watching some criterium action on the UofI campus.
We flew to Colorado to see Monica graduate from college in May. It was nice to spend a few days down there and go see the sights.
Rode up the old White Bird Hill on the 8th of June and then did the old Lewiston Grade a week later. I did some mountain bike riding with Deb and Steve over the 4th of July when we went to Warren to spend a couple of days. On the 13th of July I rode my longest ride ever when I rode with Hector Pickard to Spokane. It was 130 miles from Moscow to Spokane and back to Colfax on a very nice day. Two weeks later I rode to Clarkston for a nephew’s birthday and then rode back home.
September ushered in the MS Ride on the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes. I ended up riding over 230 miles over three days.
During October and November I did 3 cyclocross races and had a blast doing them.
