Bike Rodeo - September 19th

For Scouts in September Aaron participated in the bike Rodeo. Now... he never really liked his new bike enough to practice on it (he wanted the training wheels back). But he really wanted to do the bike rodeo. (O.k. I really wanted him to do it)
So the week before, Aaron and I practiced almost every day until he felt comfortable riding his bicycle. By the end of the week he was having fun and enjoying it.



First all the scouts had to go through an obstacle course to prove their bicycle skills. Aaron did o.k. on that. He had trouble with the figure 8, but it wasn't marked that well.




Then they had to ride one mile on their bicycles. Aaron did pretty good on the one mile. Andy rode with him. Beginning one mile:


The One Mile Mark:






When they were done Aaron wanted to bike home so Kara and I followed in the car. Aaron was very excited about learning how to ride his bike and now he wants to ride all the time so that's really neat.

I have trouble with figure eights too. That's not easy to do. Good job on that bicycle, Aaron. I'm proud of you. I hope you and Daddy ride often.
