Mac's first Mountain Bike Race

 Mac Attack has his first mountain bike race accomplished now!

It was so exciting! The trail was pretty rough and plenty technical enough for him. 

He had to ride 8.5 miles to reach the finish line.

It was a great challenge and fun experience for him and yes, Pat loved it too!

He rode along with Mac to make sure he could make it and finish. It was a good idea, I think Mac had a few moments that were a bit rough, but Pat was right there to encourage him through them.

He knows he can do it now and they are already planning more races for the summer!

 I could not believe how many racers were there...this was just the first heat/starters!

There were hundreds and hundreds of bikes lined up behind these bikers!

 I could see some "nerves" in Mac's face as it got closer for his group to take off...

 Pat was getting a bit ancy as well...

 They started lining up for take-off in the picture below. If you look closely, Mac is looking up and smiling big...

 ...he was looking up at Lilly, she was in a tree and was hollering "Go Mac, Go Daddy. Win the race!"

She had everyone giggling!

 After they took off, I spent my time chasing Griff...the kid can run...

 ...and run...

 ...and run! I was also trying to keep up with Lilly. She was scaling every single tree out there like a wild monkey! She would get so high, I could barely see her!! I was so busy chasing them, that we missed Mac and Pat coming across the finish line!! It was hard to know how long it would be, so I had planned on the possibility of not seeing it!

I did find them very quickly and Mac was off his bike, on the ground resting and super happy that he had finished!!

Go Mac Attack!
