A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of road tripping up to Lutzen, MN with my 'little' brother for a bike race. For some reason, he thinks paying money to ride 99 miles up, down and around the largest 'mountain' in MN sounds like a great time. I figure, "Better you than me." Makes for some good pics! Plus, I was due for a little time away. Steve was such a trooper for agreeing to this adventure kind of last minute.
    After our four hour drive, Benji & I were to check in at the lodge Friday evening, then meet up with Mom & Dad. They were his crew. I was his photographer. Just like old times - kind of. The race started at 7am Saturday.
