Dust Devil Race

Yesterday was the big race day we have all been waiting for--the Dust Devil mountain bike race in Fountain Hills. Ty has been training for months and shown a lot of dedication by riding in the wee hours of the morning. The race covers about 17 miles of mountain trails and takes about an hour and a half.

A few seconds after the start (Ty on the left in light gray and Cody on the right in blue).




They both finished! Cody did really well. The final times haven't been posted yet, but he probably placed in the top 3 for his division. Ty was really doing well, but got slowed down when he had to fix a flat tire. Unfortunately, in the next 20 minutes, he had to stop and fix 2 more flats! Better luck next time, honey!

That doesn't even look like fun. Biking in the dirt - ugh - but I'm super impressed with anyone who is crazy enough to race. Great job Ty and Cody.

I LOVE those pictures of Jack in his costumes.

Happy Birthday Rebecca!
