First Ever Animal Bike Race

We're excited to announce the results of the first ever Animal Bike Race. The participants this year had to follow a course that went out to Antelope Island (from Clearfield) and then back again. It was a total of 34.8 miles. Here's the course:
At about mile 7 it looked as though the Deer team was going to out sprint Kris, but he powered through and beat them to the line.

A few miles onto the causeway at Antelope Island it almost turned dirty as the Skunk almost sprayed our leader. The Skunk ran off course and was disqualified from the race.

At about the half way mark of the race some Buffalo spectators came on to the course, almost stopping the race. A little further up the road the herd of Antelope (about 30-40) didn't seem to care that a race was going on.

There were thousands of tiny spectators lining the roadside on the Island. We've never seen so many spiders in one place before.

The rest of the race was rather uneventful. The Jack Rabbits ended up taking the whole race (they are fast little buggers).

On a side note the Seagulls were disqualified for pooping on the course referees.

While there wasn't really an organized Animal Bike Race. I did see all of these on my bike ride this morning. This all happened before 8 AM. What a great start to the day. The deer were in a corn field in Syracuse. Four of them, one baby, one female, and two males with the velvet on their antlers.

All I can say is it's great to be in shape, but the things I see on my rides are way better.
