Tour de Fat

Every year New Belgium Brewery hosts the Tour de Fat in Seattle.  This year's event at Gas Works Park brought out the best of all cyclists.  Ragnarok teammates showed up in full force!  Not hard to get a bunch of us out there given New Belgium is one  of the world's greatest sponsors and the beer tastes really good too! 

Olympia Traverse

Rich and Debbie wore the Ragnarok colors while partipating in the 1st annual Olympia Traverse.  The multi-leg event started in Capitol Forest with a trail run, a mountain bike leg was up next followed by a road bike section and a paddle.  Folks could do this solo or in teams.  The final leg was the entire team meeting at the end of the paddle and running to the local brewery- the Fish Tale.  Rich rode the mountain bike leg for his team and ended up with the fastest time of the day.  Deb rode both the mountain and road bike legs for her team.  Good times.
