Bike Trailer on the Move!

It’s Veteran’s day today, so I thought we should enjoy this beautiful country with a bike ride. After The Boy woke up from his afternoon nap we got ready for our outing. I made sure to grab munchies, drinks, helmets, and a blanket. Once the kids were all cozy in the bike trailer, we headed out. The plan was to ride to Lyn’s Boutique to meet up with Dar and Tara.  I had my fingers crossed that the tires on the trailer wouldn’t go boom again. I didn’t inflate them as much this time. For some reason, when I was planning the route, I thought there was only one bridge on Golf Center, so I took that instead of Jackson… I was wrong. Both Jackson and Golf Center have two bridges. I guess I pictured the Golf Center bridge going over the freeway and the train tracks with one long bridge. Yeah, I know… I’m crazy. Either way it was fun.

Here’s the route we took. It’s 5.2 miles and the only difficult spots were the bridges. Really a nice ride. It was cool out and the sun was going down throughout the duration of the ride so with only about a mile to go, G told me that she was getting cold. I gave them the blanket and she was happy again.Dar was very surprised to see us when we arrived at the Boutique. She couldn’t believe I just hauled 80 pounds worth of kids over five miles. I have to admit I could definitely feel it in my legs but I really felt good. It was way too dark to go back home the same way so it was really lucky that Curtis came to pick up Tara in their truck. I tossed the bike and trailer in the bed of his truck and was happy to not have to do it all over again in the dark. Thanks Curt!
