Labor Day / Laddies Loppet

One of the most looked forward to Weekends of the Summer came and went too quickly as our Friends Jessie and Scott and their two boys Brodie and Lachlan from Colorado came to visit and to join us up at Maplelag for the weekend for the Annual Laddies Loppet Mountain Bike Stage Race Weekend. For those of you who attended our wedding there know the Food is incredible, toss in 300 Mountain bikers and their families and the outstanding hospitality put forward by the Richards Family it's a fun time that's hard to beat!

The Racing was tough as usual. Saturday morning, Scott and I did the Time Trial which was one fast loop on the Citizen Course. Followed by the Short Track Race in the afternoon which is Awesome to watch but one that buries me to the ground as the full 12 minutes of pure hammer time is not my cup of tea. I prefer chilling with Beer, but gave it a go and felt like I was going to tip over as I gimped myself to the finish line.

Eleni and Marlo had a great time with Brodie and Lachlan on the Pump Track playing with the big kids.
