Well Sean and Aaron made the finish line, both a little worse for the wear but all in one piece! Sean said the ride was very beautiful and the hills not as bad as they looked on the elevation map. I figure that’s a good thing. Monica and I were a bit blurry-eyed at 5:30am, but went for breakfast at Kerby because we were already up. We had a very nice time and then met up later that day at the finish line. They estimated their arrival for 1 to 2pm, my bet was 3pm. They came in at 3:06pm… whoot! I nailed that one. 
By time they got in I was starting to feel the sun. It was actually rather warm today. I have a bit of a sunburn to prove it. 
The boys ate their victory dinner of brauts, sauerkraut, and coleslaw. They chased it with cold beer direct from the Shiner Brewery. Monica and I joined in at this part, as what good German Texan doesn’t love this kind of food!! We had hoped to make the tour of the brewery after eating, but the last tour was a 4pm. We figured it wasn’t really a loss as it gives us an excuse to go back. We were thinking brewery mid-afternoon and then hit up the awesome BBQ in Lockhart, Texas on the way back home. One of the Saturdays that’s what you’ll find us doin’!
As for now you can check out some photos of the event and the guys coming in here. Again, I’m still getting used to the manual mode on my camera so not all the shots are amazing, but I had fun taking them!
