Cow Dung Run...Riley makes the DNF list along with Shawn!

A couple weekends ago we headed down to Delta so Riley could race in his first Desert Cross Race! The Cow Dung Run! We went down Friday night to get a place on Pit Row! Saturday we woke up early so Riley could get ready to race! The big bike race was scheduled to start at 12:30! It was a long wait! Riley's buddy Shawn who we went and watched a couple weeks ago was also racing. He is in the Expert class so his group started! Unfortunately another bike ran into him and he wrecked pretty good at the start. He managed to get back up and race but when he came in from the first lap he couldn't remember anything and was taken to the Hospital with a concussion! Riley had a pretty good start! They had to cross the Severe River a few times & on one of the crossings another bike came up behind Riley knocking them both into the water! Riley's bike got water logged and he couldn't get it started again. Dylan did really well for his first time. I was glad he knew that Riley was okay when he came into Pit Row so I wouldn't have to worry about him! All & all it was a really long day! Riley had to wait until the race was over for someone to go pick him and the other 25 bikes that were broke down up. He didn't get back to the trailer until 5:30. Dylan ended up coming in like 24th, and Riley & Shawn both made the "DNF" list..."Did Not Finish!" It was a good expierence for Riley & Dylan and luckily Shawn is doing good, no major damage! We're looking forward to the next one!
