We do the Okoboji Campus Bike ride every year and it is always the last Saturday in June - this year we rode with 14 of us. Mike, I, Marcus and Jamie - Jamie and Shera Van Zee and their kids Brandalyn and Austin, Dave and Jill De Ruyter and their daughter Hope, and Mark and Jessica Kooima and their daughter Shanae
Two blocks into the 25 mile ride we blew a tire on Dave's bike - Mike had an extra tube along and was mister fixit man while everyone else watched. - We were blowing it back up and the rim was busted and the new tube broke at well - Dave's bike needs new tires - so dave went back and his in-laws have a place up there and got another bike and he joined us at our first stop.
We take 4 breaks along the way at refreshment stands and just to take a little break and breather. I love this picture of Jamie with her dad!!!!!
Everyone made it and here are the kids showing off their new t-shirts. It was a VERY WINDY day but we still had a ton of fun and the kids all did awesome. Until next year - our group keeps growing so we'll see how many we have next year.
These are pictures of our ride home - jog well done - now time to rest!!!!
The ride is either 25 miles, 50 miles or 100 miles - we always do the 25!!!!
