So for those of you not from Bloomington (or Indiana), the Little 500 is a bicycle race held annually at Indiana University as a play on the Indianapolis 500 car race. There is a women's version held on Friday and the men's race is on Saturday. The riders train all year for this race, and it is serious business! The competition is fierce, but rest assured, those students not racing have plenty to keep them busy . . . namely copious amounts of alcohol! :)
Ironically, all three of Brian's interns were riders, so we geared up and took this kids . . . not completely sure this was a good idea, but you know . . . when in Rome. The race was fantastic, several crazy wrecks which resulted in four broken clavicles, a broken nose, and more road rash than you could count (none of which happened to the girls we know, by they way), and a record finish. But maybe more important, we discovered our personal goals for our children as they look toward their own years in college - we decided whatever degree they may get is secondary to our new motto: don't take a life, don't make a life. That's right, please don't die or make a baby during those four years in school!! :) 
Thanks for checking in!
