Last week I took him without his bike so that we could scope out the competition and find out if he was old enough.  They said three year olds that can ride without training wheels are welcome and that their first time is free.   He met those qualifications and now I’d say he’s hooked.

Jenny and her mom captured a lot of video footage and this single cut of his 7th and last lap turned out the best.    I think his 3rd lap was his best riding requiring only the slightest push from me.  (see video for what I mean).

I really am hoping to post more entries to this blog soon.  More family updates and some personal stuff.  Stay tuned.

The one thing I forgot was the fact that I’ve been biking a lot with the guys over these past few months and Jenny is still very new to the sport. Chiva Falls might not have been the best choice of trail for Jenny to go on at this stage. A few miles into the ride she took a spill over the handlebars. It shook her up a bit, but since she wasn’t seriously hurt and we hadn’t seen the actual falls, she decided to ride on. I love this woman.

The falls were fantastic, just like the day before. Unfortunately, right before we were getting up to head back to the car a few people showed up and before we even realized it, they were shooting guns at the falls. It was surreal. I couldn’t believe how loud it was. I’m not afraid to say that it scared the crap out of me. We quickly gathered our things and left the shotgun toting people to themselves.
