So, Eleanor loves her bike. She loves to ride it and loves to try and be daring. We live right by a BMX track and she always sees kids riding on it and one day asked to try it. It seemed a bit daunting, but I knew of another dirt bike track that I didn't think was so bad, so we decided to take her there and see what she could do.
She loved it! She hopped right on and rode and rode. She was a bit nervous on some of the hills, so she stayed on the lower ones and rode. She even crashed a few times, but it didn't phase her, she would get back on her bike and ride some more. Her sisters were not as impressed. Payton tried for one second and fell and cried. Carley wouldn't even get on her bike. And Maggie wanted to do it, but we think she was a bit small.
Next up is practicing on the actual BMX race track, then she wants to do a race. That makes me so nervous thinking of her crashing with other riders, but I am trying to get over that and let her do what she loves.
