Third Place in Race Relay Highlights Lotoja


 
Congratulations to all of the local Lotoja participants and finishers. Conditions were very good for this year’s Lotoja with mild temperatures and generally favorable winds. Zac and Jeralyn Petterson rode the two person relay. Wes Parkinson sailed through his Lotoja debut. Bruce Baxter and Steve Wasden both added another full distance finish. Tate Litchfield raced in the Men’s Cat 1 field. Tom Baird from Idaho Falls spent the day at about the same pace as our race relay team.
Kellen and I provided support to Cameron Patch, Greg Roach, John Summers, and Jeff Hancock who competed in the 3 to 5 man Race Relay (apologies to John who was absent when we took the finish line picture). The relay team finished third from a field of 60 or so highly motivated teams as a result of very solid riding from every member of the team. The original plan for the relay was a five person team, but due to a last minute cancellation, Jeff was forced to double up on the final two legs. We had a little drama at Afton when John came in ahead of schedule and Jeff was out for a warm up, but it appears that the extra adrenalin served Jeff well.
