Ever since Kadyn has learned to ride his pedal bike he's been asking to be in a bike race. After watching the Criterium he really wanted to be in one. So, we thought we would sign them up for a kid's bike race this past Sunday. Of course they changed their minds once it was actually time to decide if they wanted to go or not. However, last minute they both decided they did in fact want to give it a shot. Not only that, but Kadyn decided he didn't want to do the 2-4 year old bracket since it was only 50 yards. No, he wanted to do the 5-7 year old bracket which was 1 lap (probably equivalent to 1/4 mile on a track but with a slight uphill the 2nd half). They both did so well. I am so proud.

| Sitting in the shade before the start of the race. It was the first time in over a week that the temps were above 80 let alone 90 degrees. |
 |
| Kai's bracket went first. I was shocked he did this without his brother! SO proud of him. |
 |
| And he's off. |
 |
| Since he's still wobbly on his pedal bike we opted to have him ride his strider. Great decision! He flew. |
 |
| Just crossing the finish line. He was so proud. |
 |
| Kadyn getting in the line-up with the 5-7 year olds...look how little he looks. It was at this point that we wondered if we had made a mistake letting him race with the older kids. |
 |
| And yet, he held his own! He finished in the top 1/2, if not the top 1/3 of his group! Way to go buddy! |
