The Nature Valley Grand Prix festivities were in full-swing this weekend in Stillwater, MN. Stillwater is home to that lovably loathsome, Chilkoot Hill. The hill, too steep for Winter travel, is celebrated/dreaded annually by a pack of bicyclists. A pack of bicyclist that maybe weren’t loved enough as children. The racers climb the hill over and over again, lactic acid filling their bulging muscles and tears stinging their eyes. Is this a race or some sort of art-piece on the absurdity of man? I don’t know.

Ohh, I’m kidding about their childhoods – I’m sure they were lovely.

Speaking of kids: A couple of those Tanek Juniors took part in the Kid’s Fun Race. Look at those cute jerseys!

PS: This is what they’ll look like in the future:
