AREA BOY WINS 45+ BEGINNER DIVISION AT LEAVENWORTH INDIE SERIES RACE

Forty-eight-year-old boy wakes at 3:30 a.m., on road by 4--in all, spends close to six hours driving to and from what turned out to be a 49-minute mountain bike race. "What the hell," said the boyish-looking lad who resembles a younger, handsomer Johnny Depp. "I had so much fun, I'd have probably driven 10 hours if I'd had to." Area boy also wants to take a moment to wish his sister Kath a happy birthday. (Happy Birthday, Kath!)
