MY DAD

My Dad loves racing. In fact my Dad has been around racing all his life, He's raced motocross, go-carts(@ age 4), road race bikes. He tells me all the time of all the racing he's done he loves watching me race the most. My Dad started me racing BMX at age 7, and we've raced BMX all over the country. Now he drives me all around the country to road races.

My Dad's been saying all year long he needs to get back on his bicycle. So at the end of this 2012 racing season I finally got my dad back to riding again. Now that most of the racing is over my Dad and I are starting to do a lot of riding together. I can tell he's starting to have fun with it, he's telling me how he's going to beat some of the guy's we ride with all he needs is a little more time. I'm glad he's consistently riding everyday. It's good to see him enjoying himself.

You know I think we forget how much our Mom's and Dad"s give up so that we can race. Because if my Dad is not taking me to the races he's working so I can race. So I think we all need to stop and say a big THANK YOU to all the Mom's and Dad's out there for all they give up for us. With that I can see my Dad sitting there planning what we need to do so I can try to win another national title. He really wants me and the Specialized Team to do great things in 2013. Like I said my Dad really Loves racing.

PS. THANK YOU, all you Mom's and Dad's you're the best
