Page 2: More Keweenaw Chain Drive 2005 photos
The Keweenaw Chain Drive again coincided with Father's Day, and several
father-son and father-daughter teams entered the Father's Day Challenge.
Michael Young, 38, of Hancock, and daughter Amber Young, 16, combined their
times in the 16-mile race to take third place in the Father's Day Challenge.
Michael finished fifth in his age group with a time of 1:13:23, and Amber
finished second in her age group with 1:41:46 -- a combined time of 2:55.

On Sunday Amber was busy as organizer of the Junior Chain Drive, while
Michael worked as a volunteer for the kids' races after finishing fourth in his
age group in the Time Trial with a time of 0:11:2.
"Amber put me to work," Michael said.
In fact, the Chain Drive is a real family activity for the Youngs. Mom
Christine Young was co-director of the races, along with Lori Hauswirth.
Besides Michael and Amber Young, other participants in the Father's Day
Challenge placed as follows:
16 mile, 17 and under:
1. Richard and Rick Paanenen from Munising -- 2:37
2. Douglas and Daniel LaBar from Marquette -- 2:53
16 mile, 18 and over:
1. Danny and Andrew Hill from Ishpeming -- 2:35
2. Chip and Vanessa Ransom from Houghton -- 2:38
3. Bob and Nate Grayson from Eau Claire/Duluth -- 2:50
