Catching Up #5 - Idaho City 100

Final catch up post!  Fogg participated in a race in Idaho called the Idaho City 100.  It was in the little town of Idaho City, near Boise.  It was actually 120 miles too.  We drove up on Friday afternoon so he could register and set up.  After dinner, we set up our camper and made a fire.  It was nice to just have a family trip, just the four of us.

 Reed loves camping

 Nora too!

 This was her first time actually saying "cheese".  Love it!

 Oh man, these cuties!

So we got up in the morning and headed down to the race.  The racers had to keep their bikes in this corral overnight.  I thought it was pretty cool looking, seeing all those bikes lined up.

 The way the race worked was a tad confusing but the idea is that they had a certain amount of time to get to each check in.  Anything over that time they got 1 point per second.  Within each section there were timed test sections where they would also get 1 point per second.  The winner of the race was the one with the least amount of points meaning they would get to check in before each allotted time and get through the timed test sections the fastest.  Fogg did great, said it was super duper hard.  It's not exactly a spectator sport, but we got to see him leave, come into two check in's and see him finish!  Here he is with the kids before his start.

 Some of the other racers that we know - Fogg, Justin, Brice and Terry.

 At the start line!  They started 3 at a time.  Fogg is on the far right on the green bike - 60A

 They couldn't start their bikes until the time they had to go, he's getting ready!

 Go!

 Through the Red Bull banner - see you in a few hours.

 While we waited for him to arrive at stop 2 and 3 (the same place)

 Allen is the dad of the group, 1 of his sons and a couple of his relatives raced. He was the gaser, would put gas in each of their bikes when they rolled in.

 Fogg arriving into stop 3, headed out on his last leg after this break.

 He's pointing at me angrily to bring him food and stop taking his picture.

 And at the finish!  The line was pretty quiet, people would just roll in.  But when I saw him, I was so excited that I started yelling at Reed "Here comes daddy!".  It made the rest of the people around take notice and everyone cheered for him coming in!

 Yes! Finished!

 He was tired and dirty but still gave Reed a little ride on his bike.

We had some food and hit the hot springs on the way back to the campsite.  We are so proud of daddy!

The next morning, we packed up and headed into Boise for breakfast.  We made a stop in some town (have no idea) and happened to find this little skills park that Reed played in on his bike.  

Not sure if Fogg will do it again, but it sure was a fun little weekend and a cute little town!
