pierre's hole

this weeked we headed up to wyoming for adam and his brother's race up in targhee. it was adam's first real mountain bike race, a 50 miler with some crazy steep climbs and he rocked it!

this was the night before the race we were scoping out the course, it was gorgeous up there!
here's my man right before the big start. i don't think he knew quite what the next 6 hours had in store for him... 
 he's the tiny little speck on the top of the hill
and here he is with his finishers beer mug (minus the beer)

 some dirt and scrapes and blood. so hard core.
sam started before adam did so when adam crossed the finish line sam was there to cheer him on. sam's a seasoned rider, he's responsible for adam signing up for these crazy races.
i should mention that his bike was a single speed meaning he couldn't change gears the entire race but he did it, all 50 miles and most impressive, he's still smiling!
