The Trike A Thon

Chicky Magoo 2 participated in a Trike-A-Thon for St. Jude at her school this year. She was so excited about it and raised a lot of money for the event. The track was short, but they were to ride 50 laps, if they could. I think Chicky Magoo 2 was the only one with an actual trike, so her little legs were tired when she finished!

She was great in all turns except for turn 3. For some reason, she liked to take that one REALLY wide, and most of the time she would wonder off the track. Mr. Magoo finally moved down to that turn to try and get her focused enough to make a tighter turn! I think in turn 3 she noticed the outside lines and decided that those were the lines you should ride on!

Her teacher, Mr. Tim rode around in the green machine for his laps.

She was so proud of herself when she finished. All of the kids really seemed to love helping "sick kids" by riding their bikes. They used the event to teach bike safety too, which was good. So during the "race" they had cars made out of cardboard come across the track, which they called the driveway. Someone would yell "CAR" and the kids would stop while the car passed through the "driveway." I'm not sure Chicky Magoo 2 got this concept, because she would use it to pass the other children wide while they were waiting for the car to pass. So Chicky Magoo 2 learned strategy, while they were all learning bike safety.

Daddy, filming the last turn and giving a final high five! Go Chicky Magoo 2! 50 LAPS!
