First Bike Race!

Jack raced his bike for the first time on Saturday. Saying that he was excited about it was an understatement! The training-wheels race was 2 blocks, but has them end at the finish line.

As many of the kids are, Jack is well known in the cycling community. I was going to bike races when I was pregnant and Jack has made several appearances at bike-related events. On the way home from the Papillion Twilight Criterium, Jack kept talking about how he "won" and he said everyone was yelling, "Go, Jack, go!"

Talking pre-race about strategy?


Jack was a little distracted by the policeman who was riding along with the kids.


Slightly more focused...


Congratulations from the race official


So proud of his medal!
