A day at the rodeo

Dante participated in his first Bike Rodeo as part of Bonedale Bike Week. Naturally, he wore his Stars and Stripes skinsiut, as would any serious athlete. He kept saying "bicycle race", then would ride as fast as he could, chasing the other kids, all of whom were considerably older.
He made multiple laps through the chalk-line course, and was well behaved in line waiting his turn.
He also participated in the paperboy race, although he needs a bit of work on this throwing arm.

In this photo, his paper caddy assisted in the race. Dante was in bike heaven all day- he had to be pried off the bike to go home.
This past weekend, he rode about a mile on the Prince Creek trails- up Porcupine Road to the Porcupine trail, then a bit of singletrack and then back to the car. The whole way he chased Dad and Newman and kept shouting "bicycle race!"
