Ride for the Heroes

This past Saturday all three of my boys did the Ride for Heroes in Aledo. This is a bike ride that raises money for first responders of East Parker County. The boys have really become bicycle enthusiasts, and this was their first official ride challenge. My first challenge was getting up at 6:00 a.m. on a Saturday to go with them. This was my second challenge:

They did great though. Caleb made it 3 miles...and those were probably the hardest miles...mostly uphill and the wind against him. Steve and Cody both made it through the 8 mile route.

And this was the ride home...

As an added bonus, we received a call later that day that Cody's name had been drawn in one of the raffles. He won a pop-up canopy. We've been wanting one of those for the really hot baseball games. Cody's lucky streak continues...remember this and this? I think he's trying to think of a way he could turn that into a career.
