Jarom likes to ride. A lot. With the warmer (sortof) weather comes this seasons century rides; each 100 miles on a bicycle. Today's Century Ride began 100 miles outside of Salmon, ID. Jarom completed the ride in under 6 hours. Eliza Jane and I are his best cheerleaders!
We plucked a sleepy Eliza Jane out of bed at 5:30 am. She woke up in time to wish Dad luck, and have a jam sandwich, of course!
We like to pull off the road along the route and wait to watch Jarom pass. He hollers out "Hello Eliza Jane!" and she feels like the most important gal on the road.
We saw Jarom one last time about 10 miles from the end of the ride. Eliza Jane was thirsty and had a few drinks from Jarom's hydration pack - a favorite pastime!
Go Daddy go!
I have a whole new level of admiration for all of you. First, for Jarom - I don't see myself ever having the movitivation to ride that much. And for you and Eliza Jane - I don't see myself ever having the motivation to get up that early just to watch someone else do something I would never have the motivation to do. :)
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome.
Way to go! 100 miles is quite a ride, great accomplishment Jarom. Way to go Candise and Eliza Jane. Jarom is one lucky rider to have such great cheerleaders!
