In the beginning....

...there was this little kid, doing cyclocross on his little single speed bmx bike. He was having a lot of fun, and he thought it was cool doing the kiddie races. Soon though, he decided he was ready to race with bigger kids, on the adult's courses. He had trouble getting up some steep stuff, and getting his little bike over some barriers. It probably felt like his bmx was made of lead at times. Other times he would have to stop pedaling as he was spinning out on his one gear, while the rest of the older kids pulled away from him. It didn't matter much, he still gave it everything he had every race he did. Win? Loose? Nah... it's all about the fun....

And this past weekend, it just got a whole LOT more fun (and faster) for that little kid in the cool leg warmers!!

Hey 9 to 11yr olds... guess who got just a little faster this week?
Yep, this 7yr old.... 

I got gears! As in MORE THAN ONE! 

430! You and your funny bike with discs are about to eat my mud... 

Proof he had a little more fun than usual? I give you Exhibit A:
