First Bike Race!

We found out about the Nature Valley Bicycle Festival that was going on in the area. The festival was taking place in a few different cities so we decided to check it out- especially after we found out there was a kids bike race for free! The kids were able to ride one loop of the track the professionals were riding on. Dayne and Lylah were SO excited! It was going to be their first bike race. Well the first race they had ever done on their own! The got bibs to wear too! The race was pretty well organized with a few hundreds of kids. They went in age order- with the older kids going first and the younger kids going last. There goes Dayne!! He was concentrating!
Here comes Lylah!!

With Rich following behind.
We weren't sure if she would get nervous all by herself but she did great!
After the race all the kids got a medal for finishing! They were sooooooo excited to have their very own medal. They said they were like mommy now. I was so proud. They both said they wanted to do another race. Hummmm maybe the racing bug has gotten to them too!
