Pinewood Derby Day

This Saturday we spent the day at the pinewood derby. Here is Jack on his way to the Derby:




Competition was stacked as you can see:





But not as stacked as this:

Boulder CX #2 - SM35+ Cat 4 - Lap 1 from Dale Riley on Vimeo.


This race had 96 starters! (Video by Lisa, I think)

After four heats which start like this:



We finished fifth overall in our category. Jack still held out hope till the last for a win of some kind, but we lost by 1/10th of a sec. in two of the races. You can't win 'em all is the moral of the story.

We'll get them next year! Right Jack?



We have snow today so it's a good day to go shopping instead of riding. Like Bob Marley says, "For what I don't know"

As a fourth alternative we can always watch some football game that's on today.
