Dad's way of having fun: Getting Hurt


Dad always likes to play around every once a while. A while ago it was 6,12,24 hour dirt bike races. Luckily they have eased up and now are getting into 12 hours of mountain bike racing in the hills of Temecula. 



Dad came in after his second turn on the course. While he was out, it got dark. He didn't take a helmet light, only relying on a handlebar mounted light. Turns out he crashed five times but still had a blast. Oh and the bike is okay, we think.





Its hard for the old man to smile after five crashes and knowing that he probably has to see his doctor for his bruises.......





Luckily a daughter in law can always make him smile.





Turns out Dad wasn't the only one. Eric came in finishing the race and turns out he had a little crash too. Somehow his crash left his bike computer at the top of a hill. Luckily it was face up and on so he could see it. 


We hung out for a little bit. Aunt Jamie made some delicious chili and Erin had a good time with her and Tabitha. It got REALLY cold so we bailed before the awards ceremony as the tribute band was "rocking out" to Sublime and Michael Jackson.
