Tour de Creative Learning Center

Also known as pre-school Trike-a-thon

Game faces on.

Scoping out the competition.

This is no laughing matter.

I pity the fool who gets between this guy and the finish line.

Nothin says intimidation like a princess helmet. Surprised Lance never thought of that one.

They mostly stayed in the peloton throughout the ‘thon. To Kate’s detriment, though. A pile-up in the 23rd lap took her out of the race. Luckily, the medical team was close by.

Ethan was not to be discouraged. He went on to complete 38 laps.

(Did I mention the laps were about the size of a living room?)

The victor’s prize? Fruit snacks, of course.

In all seriousness, this was the reason for the ride. About every 2 or 3 laps, as they passed, they would ask if it was time for snacks yet. Doubt it was the best time they ever had in their lives, but it was worth it for the blog post.

I was a little worried that the fall might have dampened Kate’s spirits a bit, but when we got in the car, she said, “I think I won.”

Funny thing is we never told them it was a race. We just said we were taking their bikes to ride at pre-school. I guess the second you put a medal around a kid’s neck, it all gets very serious.

After such a grueling ride, they both needed a couple cool-down laps in the cul-de-sac.
