Trevor and BigGuy (a.k.a. Grandpa Stewart) signed up to bike in the Century Ride. This is a bike ride put on by the Overdrive Cycling Club in Eau Claire every fall. They signed up for the 25 mile loop however there was also a 60 and 100 mile course as well. Since BigGuy is also a member of the Eau Claire Lions Group they were cooking the food for the bikers and he needed to be back at the starting point by 11:00 am to help so we knew they would not have time for the full 25 mile but Trevor was determined to go as far as they could in the time they had.
I drove the "bike hauler" back to the house in Eau Claire and passed Trevor and Grandpa on the way...they were already much further than I thought they would be that short into the ride.
Finishing up. Based on the timing for when Grandpa had to start cooking for the bikers he and Trevor finished up around 10:20 am on Sunday and had completed 8.3 miles in just under 2 hours. We found out in that time they also stopped for a "snack" along the trail and did a mini-downhill "race"...Trevor was most excited that he got is cycle computer / speedometer to hit "21 MPH".
Trevor said this morning he wants to try out the Lowes Creek Mountain Bike Trails so we're planning a trip out there (only 3 miles from Grandpa and Grandmas house) once "Dad" gets a new bike - J.S.
