Challenge that is...
The only good thing about tax day (from my point of view) is its proximity to the annual Tax Day Challenge road race in Inkom Idaho. This is one of my favorite races (Mark likes it too). Inkom is a beautiful place and the course is kind of a circuit race where the racers ride through "town" to a circle that takes them up to a summit and then back down (not through town though) to do it all over five more times. Jenn and I drove wheel support
(in the Taurus - more power steering challenges in the Volvo).
Mark and two others broke away on the first time around and soon gained over two minutes on the field. No one flatted and Jenn and I had fun measuring and reporting the time between the lead group and the chase group. It was a beautiful day and a fun event. With half a lap - and the climb left to go - Mark suddenly shot past the other two riders.
They looked at each other as if waiting for the other one to chase him down... after realizing that neither was going to take off they worked together for a few minutes and then decided to bag it.
Mark won by about 40 seconds
If Mark and I need a place to retire maybe we could take over this business in Inkom...
When the race was over we drove home in record speed because there were some very special visitors waiting for us...
