On this final day of the 2017 version of May, what we see here is my nephew Theo mountain biking on the rugged trails of Tacoma.
If my calculations are correct Theo is currently *four years old.
*UPDATE: Theo's Aunt Jackie informs me that Theo is now six years old.
I had barely learned to walk by the time I was four.
I do not remember when I got my first bike, but I know it was a few years past four.
When I was four we lived in Mount Vernon, across the street from what is now Skagit Valley College, under construction at that point in time.
Being four in Mount Vernon would seem to indicate I learned to ride a bike after we moved a couple miles north, to Burlington.
My most vivid memory of riding a bike in Burlington was my little brother (Spencer Jack's grandpa) and me pushing our bikes to the summit of Burlington Hill and then coasting down at high speed with the high speed descent halted by a duo spectacular bike wreck in loose gravel which left us a bit bloodied.
Apparently now I have two nephews to go mountain biking with. Theo and Joey.
Below you get to watch full action video of Theo mountain biking. Theo's brother, David, and sister Ruby, make cameo appearances....
