Bike Week: Day 3

On Sunday KJ and I did what is currently our longest ride of the year. Over 32 miles on the Yough Trail, from the Greenock ballfield to Cedar Creek Park and back. Up until this point, our longest ride was less than 21 miles, so this is a major step up. This was something of a treat, because we actually drove to the trail rather than starting from the house. Because we were leaving early, we included "Lunchables" for our lunch break on the trail. These things are really handy, and they're a treat for the kids.


So Bike Week so far is:

8/15 9.03 miles Blue Slide Park
8/16 15.28 miles Schenley Park
8/17 32.67 miles Yough Trail

For a total 0f 56.98 miles.

Bike Week!

This week is going to be "Bike Week" in our house. KJ is finished with his camp, and doesn't start school until next week. Unfortunately, his aide, who normally would schedule extra time with KJ during this time off, will be away on vacation. And the Weather Channel is saying that the weather all week is going to be absolutely perfect, with highs around 80 degrees and no rain. So what we have is a "perfect storm", circumstances coming together to provide a unique opportunity. KJ and I will be biking every day for more than a week.

We actually started on Friday, August 15th, with a 9 mile ride to one of KJ's favorite places, Blue Side Park. Saturday we did a hilly ride to Schenley Park and back, which added another 15 miles plus.

I will update every day so we can track out progress.
