Like I mentioned in my last post, on Saturday Luke rode in an insane bike ride. It's called The Dirty Benjamin. It was a 107 bike ride on dirt roads on a single speed bike. There was no "help" on the course (since there wasn't an entry fee). This means there were no water stops, etc. They were able to drop a bag at the 1/2 way point, but otherwise they were on their own!
Luke biked with his good friend, Tony and due to a wrong turn they ended up biking 113 miles!! They had to print out all of the turns to know where they were going!
They caught up with a friend of a friend, who ended up helping Luke out a ton! Luke had a flat tire and a problem with his chain and his new friend helped him out tremendously!
Luke said the weather was perfect. They got rained on, but it was a welcome break and it helped pack down the dirt and made the roads not quite so dusty.
Luke said it was one of the hardest things he's ever done and understandably so!
They finished, ate, showered and joined myself and a bunch of our friends at Rock the Garden! They got to RTG at 7:30, just in time to hear Trampled By Turtles!
I am so proud of you, Luke! Way to go!
