Bike rider

Aaron is riding in the MS 150 coming in a few months. He has worked really hard. There is so much that has to go into the ride. You have to get a decent bike. We started with an academy bike but it wasn't cutting it so we returned it (thank God they let us) and got a more expensive, better bike. Aaron was much happier with that. THen there is rain gear, cold gear, etc. He rides a lot and has training rides every weekend. We have gone to one, another was rained out much to our disappointment (they were going to have puppies at it! Not sure why but hey, we love dogs!) He has another one coming up and then the real deal! All this riding has really strengthened his friendships with the guys in our group. But in addition to the training he has to raise money. This made me a little nervous because no one likes to ask others for money. But Aaron has done really well. He is suppose to raise 400 and is already at 600 with a few months to go. He has guest from the restaurant, servers, friends and family all giving their support. Awesome. Here are a few photo's from a race he did.
We can't wait until he crosses the finish line of 150 miles!!!! So proud of you Aaron/Daddy!
