Pitting for Dad in Wolverine

This was the only enduro weekend we attended this year that did not include a family enduro on Saturday. As the adults-only race was scheduled for Sunday, we started the weekend off with a Saturday morning soccer game for G before heading to the Wolverine race site.

By Sunday morning, all of the riders in our camp had arrived and G and A were buddied up for a day of fun in the rain. After we filmed each of our riders' starts, we moved on to the spectator points and finally the gas stop. All the while, G and A entertained with goofy stories, sound effects and songs. And they rode their bicycles in the mud and the rain at every opportunity.

When we returned to camp, I sent them into the heated camper while I unloaded the truck. When I poked my head in to tell them it was time to go watch the race finish, they were both huddled in front of the heat vent, holding their wet socks up to dry. And neither wanted to move from that spot. Hence no finish line pictures--only video from the trails.

To end the day, we enjoyed Oreo Cookie cheesecake in honor of Uncle Brad's 50th birthday.


It may have been wet and not altogether warm, but the day was fun and neither myself nor the boys wanted to be anywhere else.
