L.o.t.o.j.a. = bragging rights

seriously - my brother is the coolest person EVER (this week).
last weekend he rode in Lotoja. for those of you who don't know what it is, it is a greuling bicycle ride from Logan to Jackson. 206 miles. sore butts. lots of bragging rites


"do i really want to do this????"


he left from the starting line earlier than we thought - so we didn't get to wish him good luck. but we did use this photo op.


"what's that your holding, hubby-bubby?"
we met up with him at the 2nd stop. we had to wait a little while for him to get there so the hubby-bubby tuned in on the ol' hammer to see if he could get some details.



"it's my handy-talkie. isn't it cool?"


2nd stop


"yep, nice and sweating to death in this leather outfit"


back on the bike to get to the next stop before the cyclists.


oh - oh - oh - here he comes!


and there he goes. notice how he was in the front???


the lady supporters


"come on, loosen up, baby. you only have 47 miles to go!"


"47 **** miles?!?!?"


yes folks, that's 12 hours 34 minutes and 38 seconds


don't forget to protect your junk. very important.


just waitin....


BEAUTIFUL scenery at the finish line


is that a zero or.....


hooray!!! he made it to the finish line!!!



the riders


my cool bro - see how nice and skinny he is from all his hard work?


"i'm so proud 'a my man"

congrats bro.
hope your butt isn't still numb.
