BMX Bikes Will Travel

This past weekend I was on the road with my boys. They both race their BMX bikes. It was a road trip to Morley, AB about 30km's west of Cochrane, right at the foot of the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Morley is the home of the only indoor BMX track in Alberta. Sunday was already the 1st provincial race of the season!! The kids who live close to the track sure had the advantage being able to practice the last 4 months. Mitchell and Ethan were a little rusty. This year Ethan is racing in the 7 intermediate category and Mitchell is in the 15 intermediate. When all was said and done Ethan walked away with 3rd place this weekend and Mitchell was 4th. Mitch is anxious now to get back to the track for some winter training! Looks like we will be on the road earlier than we thought!
