First 2008 Race for Nate

Today was the first race for Nate in Kenosha. Sorry I forgot the camera to catch a few shots of the boys racing. There was 17 kids that towed the line for their race. It went off and Nate and Gage were boxed in and a kid got off the front and Nate tried to pull it back but then 2 took off and bridged to the kid that got away. Then after a few laps Gage and Nate took off when one of the stronger kids pulled in to the wind and dropped him and then a group of about 5 then tried to work together to pull in the other 3. It didn't work and then for the field sprint Gage ended up in 5th and Nate in 6th and then I think Mitch rolled in 9th. Zoe did her first race ever and looked great. She finsihed 4th and was just a 1/2 of a bike length from finishing 3rd. She will be killing the others real soon. It was a windy cold for the kids but they did well. I hope it gets warmer soon as the kids next race will be the WCA Sheboygan race. That gives us a few weeks to get some hard training in for Nate as the bmx has been full time for the winter. He will be ready as will the other kids. After the kids races Jeremey, Jerry, Danny, Jeff, Matt and myself went for a nice spin in the country roads around Kenosha. Then we watched the 1/2's race and headed home. Now time to read the paper and relax. Later..
