Thompson competed in his first mountain bike race this morning at Camp Carolina in Brevard, NC. The race was the third in a series of five races sponsored by Carolina Youth Mountain Bike League. As you'll see from the results, he did great for his first race, which was a 1/3 mile loop around the lake with no elevation gain. Now to improve on race strategy - how to start, pass riders and pedal through the finish line. Afterwards, dad, Herb and Christian took him on the "big kids course" (a 1.3 mile techincal loop with 138 feet elevation gain). We had a grat day, finished off with ice cream at Dolly's and he's already talking about his next race.
