What race?

So, I am just learning how to do this, but I had typed a lengthy little tidbit about the race is on and  lost it, so I shall try again.

My boys love to race.  They will race on bikes, four-wheelers, scooters, and, due to a recent grounding, on foot.  Their favorite is to race Dad to work.  O.K. they don't go the entire 1 1/2 miles to the shop, but they make it to the corner and have to come back.
