Last Ride of the Year


New Year's Eve ended up being a pretty nice day. The sun came out and the temperature was in the low 40s. KJ then surprised me by signing "No" (Actually, more like "No!") when I asked if he wanted to go biking. My next surprise was when PJ (who is not a biking fanatic like his dad and older brother) said that HE wanted to go biking with me.

OK, this wasn't going the way I intended, but that was OK. We hooked PJ's trailer bike on to my single bike, and off we went to Frick Park. PJ has improved a LOT when it comes to helping dad pedal. I could actually feel him pushing from behind.

When we got to the park, believe it or not there were some other kids there, so PJ had a chance to run around and play for a little bit before we headed back home.

We actually ended December on something of a high note. After almost 6 weeks without riding, we were out 5 times in 10 days. We actually set something of a December record. Normally we only get one or two short rides per month during the winter, and here we had 5 rides with an average length of over 8 miles.
