Bikes bikes and more bikes..



The USA Pro Challenge Bike race is here for the week. It is a pretty big deal and Durango is welcoming the thousands of people and riders by have wonderful parties and events.  
We want to buy a bike for Lilja's birthday, but many balance bikes are still too big for her.. until we could try out the Strider bike. Always a helmet on for safety!!

The guy came over with a pink bike and pink helmet.. But Lilja said"no Thank you.. a blue one please!" we better buy a blue bike..

So this bike does not have pedals or training wheels and she just walks with it until she gets the hang of the blancing part.. she was pretty timid.. lots of practice..

There she goes.. well, not really..

she got some medals and even had a photo with some junior pro riders from the Livestrong team . Someone was noticing that Lilja was wearing the king of the mountain dress. too funny!! Great choice of dress daddy! 

Aran got to go back and walk around the "real "bikes on his onw this morning and took some inconspicuous pictures, notice the names on the bikes.. For us... Awesome!!! maybe you guys have no idea who they are.. but really this is awesome!!


Taylor and tejay's bikes.. these are names we breathed for the last couple of months with the Tour the France and other races.. Can't wait for the real race tommorrow..!!Lilja is going on a playdate to Melissa's house and Aran and I are going down town for the morning.. Aran even took off for this!!

and ofcourse a facepainting session for Lilja.. this time Blue flowers..
