Andrew's first bike race

Andrew learned to ride his bike without training wheels about a week after he turned four. Part of his motivation was to enter the annual bike race. He practiced riding around Grandpa and Grandma's track for months until he thought he was ready for the race. The long awaited day finally arrived. Grandma found him the way cool outfit. Grandpa cleaned and tuned up his bike. Mom sent off the registration forms and off to the race we went with his own personal family cheering section.


Part of racing is schmoozing with the competition. Notice the little brother action going on!
The action photo was taken just before he crashed into another competitor going the other way. Thankfully no one was permanently injured and he was smiling afterwards. They gave out lots of prizes for the little guys and Andrew was thrilled with his new Batman bike helmet and knee pads! Serious racing action for the under 8 set. Andrew can't wait until next year.
