Race time

Hanging out in the car before the kids race in St. Cloud.

First Bike Race

We brought his "bike" with us (it's a Strider - no pedals) to my race at Buck Hill on Sunday. Owen did the Shimano Youth Series race. I've got the seat as low as it goes and he barely can stand over it. His helmet is also a bit big for him, but he doesn't seem to mind. He loves cruising around on this thing. He came in last, but he had a blast. Besides, all the other kids were quite a bit older than he is. I'm calling it first place in the Under Two age group. Nice job buddy!

Cleaning the bike after another driveway derby.

Tour de Owen

I bought a Strider (a little bike without pedals that little dudes cruise around on to work on their balance) for Owen a few months ago, but I've never been able to get him to sit still long enough to get his helmet adjusted. The Strider and the helmet are still just a little bit big for him, but he didn't seem to mind. Before long, we had our own little derby going on.

Rough Ride

We got about a half-mile from home and he zonked out. Stayed asleep for most of the 35 minute ride.

Burley Test Drive

First cruise in the new Burley.
