Steve and Point to Point

Steve has been training all summer to ride the Point to Point mtn bike race in Park City.  It is an 78 mile race that you can do solo or as a duo.  Steve did the duo option and raced the last 42 miles of the course.  The race was last Saturday and he finished!  I can't imagine being on a bike seat for over 5 hours, but he did it without any crashed or bike malfunctions.  Duff did the race as a solo rider and finished the whole thing in just a little over 8 hours....despite his bike losing rear brakes (scary). 

The kids and I chased Steve around Deer Valley and Park City Mtn Resort before finally catching him at the finish line at The Canyons.  He was so exhausted and wasn't sure if he would do the race again.  But the very next day, the story had changed.  He said he is doing the whole thing next year :-)
