The announcer (named Cheese!) made a great announcement about Matt raising money for Alpha-1 (from my script!), and proceeded to read it out at least three times, several people commented on it to us!
Then it was time to line up at the start with 55 other 15 to 18 year olds from all over the nation. Nervous? I should say so, especially with that enormous hill ahead of me.
There they go!
After Dad handed him more water on the second lap, the only picture he could get was of his back!
and then finally, just over two hours later, one weary rider approached the finish line.
and afterwards it was all Matt could do to stand by his bike for a photo
48 kids of the 55 starters finished, Matt was 34th - what a great accomplishment!
