Back on the Podium

We spent last weekend at Ferdinand State Forest. It was our first visit there, the trails were hilly and challenging, and the forest was quiet and peaceful.

We were the only campers in this section of the park. It was beautiful.

Ryan is back on the podium for the first time this year. 

Hudson finishes first, with Brooks in second. It was a sprint finish, only a seconds difference!

State Champ!

Yesterday was the last race of the season. It was a fun course, and everyone had a great time. Fortunately there was a lack of mud!

Getting tired

Ryan had a fantastic race. He took the lead halfway through the first lap, and held it for the rest of the race. By time he crossed the finish line he had a 52 second gap! I am so proud of him. He has worked extremely hard this season, and the results have proven that.

Taking the lead

Not an exciting finish, he was so far ahead of everyone!

1st place and Indiana State Champion!

Podium #10

Ryan hit his goal for 10 podium finishes this year.  He finished 1st yesterday!  It was a muddy day, but everyone had fun. Only one race left for the season!

1st race as an 8 year old

The Aftermath

Brooks and Hudson were Ryan's pit crew. Ryan had two bikes for the race, and alternated bikes every lap. They were in charge of cleaning off the mud and grass.

Brooks got a little carried away with the power washer.

Happy to finish 1st!
