MARS Jr's on top again






This morning was the Brown Deer race and the Jr's again decided to take the top spots. Gage won the race, Mitch took 2nd place and Nate rolled in like 6th age group. As the race rolled out Mitch picked the speed up to see who followed. The entire group did today so the kids rode smart and let the others take some pulls. In the last lap Nate took the front and took Mitch and Gage on his wheel. At the last turn he pulled over to the side pinching the others that were on his side out of the sprint making it a easy 1,2 for the team. It was a great ride for the kids and like I said there will be many more wins to come. These 3 kids are beginning to click and should be able to keep their winning ways. Oh you should have seen Gage's face after he won, it was Priceless. Maybe with out Dad there he will race better ( just kidding ). I missed taking a picture of the finish as I was yelling and just blanked out, sorry..

Here is Nate's new race bike all done. Well I have to meet with Jerry and we are going to work on the brake housing in the coming weeks. Thanks to Rachel the bike is a sweet ride. We went on a nice little trail ride today with Bubba, Russell and Coop. After 1 stop to adjust the rear derailleur, as it was ghost shifting the bike was running perfect. I thinking the Punk will do fine in the sport class this year.

Before the ride a bunch of went and did some cleaning of all the trash that the Tosa bums toss in the woods. We spent 90% of our time hauling out wood that the park workers cut up after the punks brought in to build a free park with. To see the amount of wood we hauled out check Russ's blog. As much work as it was it is always nice to give some back. Now time to get to CR and help clean my play ground.

Tomorrow we are sending Maddie and Nate to Eagle River for a class trip so down to 1 kid. Oh yea you have to love that. Also we are heading to the Southern Kettle for a ride at 12:30 if any of you are interested for a connector ride. Have to get the Punks things ready. Later..

Teamwork like that means that's a win for the all three of them.
