Chris has recently purchased a road bike and is training for the Hotter N' Hell Hundred. This is a 100 mile bike race that is held here in Wichita Falls every August, when it's usually 100+ degrees. Cycling is something that he has been very interested in for a while now and has been wanting to get into. I'm so proud of him! He is working really hard in his training program and seems to be progressing really well. Just this past weekend he went for a 37 mile bike ride. This is still a far cry from the 100 miles he'll complete in August, but quite a feat none the less. He is very diligent and really seems to be enjoying this new sport. We bought a bike rack for our car and will be toting along the bike this summer on our vacation. I think it's pretty cool that he'll be able to go on bike rides all over the country this summer. To me one of the best things about cycling is the fact that you can cover so much ground in a short amount of time as which is very different than running. He'll be able to see the world in a different view.
Here's a picture of him in his "biker gear". For his birthday, Alexander gave him the UK jersey. He looks awesome and Alexander and I cannot wait to cheer him on in August!!!
