Santa Ynez Classic and Tristan's Soccer Game

Charlotte's Meadow in Los Olivos was where the Santa Ynez Classic was held.  What a beautiful place with green rolling hills, gorgeous oak trees, and splended wineries.

I'm just such a nervous mom before all the races and this race was no different.  But Nathan had a great start off the finish line and I really could not have been more thrilled for him.  His Aunt Roxy came out to see him race, so I'm sure he put his best pedal forward and gave it his all.

He was way out in front.

He did 4 laps and nobody caught him!

Coming into the finish line.....

.....and crossing it!  3 minutes ahead of the 2nd place rider.  So happy for our Nate Dog!

Nate Dog on the podium in first place.  Currently, Nathan is in the first place spot based on points in his category.  He's got a real chance of winning the whole thing this season.  We're off to Big Bear on May 16th.  It'll be all about the elevation then.

It's been really tough with Nathan's last few races because we've missed some of Tristan's Spring Soccer games.  Sean's best friend Steve and his wife Tina were nice enough to go and support Tristan at his last soccer game while we were in Los Olivos for Nathan's race.  Thank you Steve, for taking these great pics of Tristan.  We're happy to say that schedules won't be conflicting anymore, therefore, we won't be missing anymore of Tristan's soccer games.

Love, Lisa
