Cat's Hill

Cat's Hill is a very exciting bike race that takes place here in Los Gatos. The bikes go around a course through the neighborhoods. The steep, short climb is Cat's Hill...and it is REALLY steep. The bicyclists are so amazingly strong and fly up the hill. I always get this rush of adrenaline with the cyclists go past...it is just so exciting! There are many different groups of racers. The fastest ones race at the end of the day, 4:25 pm was their start time. Kekoa and I came back, after his afternoon nap, to watch the rest of the races. The bikers go so fast they create wind!

My dad is a bike official for Cat's Hill and has been for years. I remember coming to visit him to watch the race way back when I was in college! Now, it is a tradition for Scott and I to go too. This was Kekoa's first Cat's Hill race and he really enjoyed himself. He loved watching the bikes whizzing by and all the new sounds.

Ready to go guys...Kekoa wearing my sunglasses!

We feel so important at the race. We all get to go "backstage" and walk up on the platform to stand next to my dad. It is the best place to watch the racers finishing. I usually ring the bell, indicating the last lap, but not this year. I was holding Kekoa and didn't want to hurt his little ears!
It was a gorgeous morning. We had a picnic lunch before Scott had to go to work. We wanted to have a picnic lunch last year, when I was pregnant and Scott was in nursing school, but it was raining. Things sure have changed for us in a year!


Racers speeding around the corner...

Go racers go!
Such a fun day!

While we were having our picnic, Kekoa was practicing his yoga moves...."child's pose". He was cracking us up!
