Cyclocross

The season has began and this week we decided to pack up the bikes and join the kids race yesterday evening.  I didn't know if the girls wanted to race but both were pretty excited-Andrea shocked me by telling me that she was for sure racing.  She is quite the competitor once she knows what to expect.  I think it was because there were no barriers and just one hill.  James was the most excited.  He talked about it all day-how he was going to bike "off road"  He has been practicing in our front yard.

Kids lining up to race, we had just watched Ron's race and they were all ready to go.  Becca is the most timid-James was so determined to do it all by himself.  The kids kept asking how many laps and James would tell them he was riding 5 laps!

Brayden wasn't too happy wearing the old school helmet...coming up with four bike helmets is always a chore.

The surprise of the evening was Andrea who completed a full three laps.  She loves to compete...when she knows she can do it.  Brayden had a lot of fun but his goal was to finish so he could head to the skate park to practice his skateboarding.  James thought he was pretty big stuff and can talk your ear off telling all about his first cyclocross ride.  A fun evening.
