While up in Eagle Crest there was a professional bike race around the Bend area for six days. Not quit the Tour De France, but it did have several of the worlds top riders there as their team did not get into the tour this year.
Anyway, on the last day of the race after the professionals had taken off on their race for the day the organizers held a kids race. Both kids were going to do the race but Gabbie ended up being sick(too much dancing from the wedding). But Gavin lined up on the starting line for his first bike race, which was close to a half mile in length. He was in the 5 - 7 year old boys group, and after a fast start and leading after the first turn he fell back. With hard work at the end of the race he ended up finishing in about sixth place.
He did a great job and already is planning to get a better bike for next year so he can win the race.
