News TAYLATHON MAY 6, 2005 PAGE 3 continued from page 1 pipe, but with a quick repair, they were up and moving once again. Despite the early morning practices, afternoons working out in the Kesler Center and bike breakdowns, the majority of riders walked away with new friends and excitement for next year. “Our team was a bunch of guys who didn’t know each other at all, and now after the race I can call all of these guys my friends,” Brennan said. “I love it,” said senior Val Harle. “It’s dangerous and fun. I came back because I love my teammates and riding. Taylathon is a really unique event we have and it’s amazing to watch. I think part of what makes this community special is our unique events. Just a lit- tle courage and a good pair of spandex shorts is all you need.”

Junior Jake Edgerton falls from the bike and bites the pave- ment after temporarily gaining possession from teammate Matt Hilty. Junior John Bundick, a catcher, could only cringe after missing Edgerton. The juniors recovered, however, and took first place in the race.
