We love the mid week mnt bike series. Last year Darren placed 2nd in his division overall. This year, he was training for his ironman so we only hit the last few races.
I didn't get any pictures of Tyler. But I want to remember how proud I am of him. Kids can do 1-3 laps. The last race he did 3 laps. That is big. That is racing with kids who are bigger, and older than him. And he did AMAZING!!! He beat several kids who are older than him, but more importantly he tried something was hard.
Ella did one lap. She has new bike that is a bit too big for her. She rides it well, but going down trails that are loose and covered with rocks she doesn't have total control yet. She was amazing. 
This picture sums up the fun of the race. Friends and fun, in the mnt. on bikes.
Biking is a lifetime sport. You can bike forever. You can bike as a family. Other sports are great, but you can spend every weekend at soccer games, and basketball, games, and whatever else... but Darren and I decided we want to have our kids do life time sports. Skiing, biking, hiking, climbing. Those are things we can do as a family and as adults forever. Sure. we will still do some dance and soccer. but we want to do activities that as family we can enjoy.
The last night the kids get awards. (the get a free raffle gift every time they race) But the awards are pretty neat.
Also I dont want to forget Renee's birthday. and Tyler finished his Lego technic digger. oh my.
