Wow, another cool event hits the books. Maybe I'll just run this as a comparison:
2011:
Some cool family I don't know was kind enough to let me crash at their place in Cache Valley. Connie set to take care of us all day.

We ate dinner at the same pasta place and had a great meal. We also watched USU in the early stages of giving some Cache Valley Smackdown on the U!

Baker City Classic Criterium Edit. Would someone freakin' go with me next year? :)
This is a full edit using 3 onboard cameras and multi-cam editing in Final Cut Pro. It was so easy and looks so good. This type of video will be easy to make in the future.

First few days - hot! Really fun. Great routes. Amazing food. Yesterday was a century with a lot of climbing. Tonight we are back to the coast, getting ready to ride Whidby Island. (I'll post more when I have a keyboard!) The ride has about 70 folks, including 10 Dennings and 4 others representing Team Reel!
Saturday was the 2012 edition. Jenny and Dan patrolled the 50, and Chris and I rode the century.
Unlike this year's LeBow, the weather was PERFECT! I left my house at 6:20 with almost no extra gear - only arm warmers. I'm not a morning person (surprise) so I wasn't really excited about a hard, fast day, but Chris was positive like always and got me into the groove.
Hey, where are everybody's LP200 reports? Here's my 2012 edition:
Start time - Dang it! Why can't we start with the other 2 Reel Theatre teams? But we crossed paths many times, so that was cool.
Driver - Joe drove for us and he's great. I hate to sound superior and all, but I'm sure I had the greatest group of guys to ride with!
Fast start - Rob promised that he was going to start easy, but of course he was charging from the start. Classic!
