Well kids, he said it probably wouldn't happen. I believe that I even said that I would be more likely to do an Iron Man before he would do this (I was joking of course). But, it has happened. Your Dad has been hit, or should I say very nicely pushed, with the bug.
For the last few months Grandpa and Uncle David have been urging your father to bike a century ride with them. This is a 100 mile bike ride and there are 2 running events throughout the year that they take part in. The first is the Montauk Century ride which is here on Long Island and the second is a ride in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. It was at Bencivenga Christmas that this idea became a reality for your Dad when after all the gifts were opened Grandpa and Uncle David presented your father with his very own racing bike. Now, I wish I got a picture of his face, and even so my face, because to say we were shocked, stunned, scared is an understatement. After letting the idea soak in, your Dad has embraced the idea of riding for 100 miles and has begun his training. He will join Grandpa and Uncle David this year for the Montauk ride and then hopefully Tahoe. Its going to be great watching your Dad do his thing and he is going to be great at it. Go Daddy Go, I can see it now!
