Lotoja 2007

Lotoja felt like a blur - it came and it's gone, but this year had many unforgettable moments, Russ throwing up, hammering out from the start, and Kim having to make a bathroom stop. All this together makes a Lotoja that we won't forget. Thanks for Daren letting me use his bike (I think I am a Carbone fan). Tanner and Daren really missed out. The body is starting to slowly recover. The question is - Will GC Connection ride again next year?
Here is the faithful support crew getting bottles and food ready. Many thanks to all of them!

Robbie, Doug, and Bubba before the ride. Notice we are all smiling - at this point.
Doug and Bubba. I am still amazed that the old man can still turn the pedals so well. Doug held strong and did well. He redeemed his "bonk" from last year. He climbed well and held on during the flats.

Bonnie seems a little worried - Is Kim OK?

Bet you can't tell which one stands out like a soar thumb - Russ missed the team jersey coordination meeting.
The support crew!
