Idaho City 100

We went to Boise last weekend for Reid to ride in the Idaho City "100"endurance dirt bake ride.  This is the 3rd year he has ridden in it, but its been several years since he has done it.  He didn't get to train for it as much as he would have liked, but he has been working really hard at getting in shape and losing some weight the last few months.  He has done really well and lost about 20 lbs.  He looks great.  He did really well on the ride and finished it for the first time and even got a silver.  This is a very grueling race that took over 6 hours of solid hard riding.  He was so exhausted and super sore for many days after. He rode with his friend Josh which is nice to have someone to do it with and nice for me and the kids to have someone to hang out with while we are waiting for them.  We had lots of fun over the weekend in Boise staying in our hotel, swimming, site seeing and eating out at fun restaurants.  The kids always get along so well with the William's kids.
