We ventured out with the kids on a cool (actually it was pretty cold), windy, May evening to the Friday Night Santa Clara PAL BMX races to see what Alessandra thought. Despite sitting in the howling wind (hardly exaggerating) eating our In N' Out Burger dinner (I probably got a shake too)in the stands above the track, Alessandra wanted to get a closer look at the little kids practicing on the small track in the back of the complex. We went over, immediately started talking to some other parents, and one of them said:if you run over right now and sign her up she can race tonight (we just happened to have her bike and gear in the back of the car)- so I asked Alessandra if she wanted to race; a resounding "YES" followed, and the rest is history....
This is her first time riding on a track- after about 20 minutes of practice.
So that was the qualifier,and this is the main event:
Okay, so she finished next to last in her first main, but what a great night! We were all (Momma, Baby Brother, and I) very proud.
