Aug 16: LaTour de LaTonka - Pics

This past weekend, Mercer County... and the Amish(!)... got a taste of something they had never seen before:
The brainchild of Ken DeFurio...
...La Tour de LaTonka is a 21 Stage, held in a Single Day Race, beginning and ending at Lake LaTonka...
...pitting Team Ag3r against...The World Team :)
So, we headed out with riders and a caravan of support vehicles in tow...
...piloted by Team Hot Chicks: Alli and Ally in the End of Caravan vehicle...
...and by Team Boy-Studs: Rich, Roger and Hunter in the Lead Vehicle...
...and held Individual Time Trials...
...Team Time Trials... ...and mass start Road Races...
...with the intent to award...The PINK POLKA DOT, King of the Mountins Ribbon(!)...
...the GREEN WEENIE Sprinter's Squeeker(!) ...
...and the coveted Overall Leader's Yellow Jersey Barbie!
So after miles and miles of Mercer County flatlands...
...and bottles and bottles of consumed drinks...
...the Eiffel Tower, and...
...the end of the race were in site!
Back at (camp), the overall Team Classification "LaTonka Cup" was awarded to the winning Team...
...then we all partyed with the energy we had left...!
Luckily, cyclists have poor long term memory... so we soon were talking of doing it all again... just not real soon!
Thanks to Rich Seevers, Allison DeFurio and (to me!) for the pictures.
