saturday bike ride

We've reinstated Saturday Family Bike Rides! I'm pretty excited. Biking has always been a big part of life for my husband and me, but we've been slacking for the past six months or so. But now that the weather is not only very hot but also humid, and my husband recently sustained a knee injury, we've decided to start riding again. Last weekend was our second in the series.

Our bike path happens to be next to a farmer's market, so our first order of business was to get a pastry. You know, energy for the road.


Then we rode for a while. Four miles, to be exact. Our son rang his bike bell, looked for grumpy old trolls under the bridges, and tickled my husband's bottom while we rode.

 
 
We were extra lucky this Saturday, because there was actually water in the river, which is dry 99 percent of the time. We'd had a nice rain storm the day before, and the water was still running down from the mountains. 


After our grueling ride, we ended up back at the farmer's market. Time for...


...a popsicle! It was not quite 9 am, but it was already hot, and I have to admit that popsicle was a great idea.

      Thanks! I have to admit, I took about a zillion photos in this area, and these were among a small handful that were in focus to my satisfaction. :)

    The best kind of bike ride: one with sweets. Great pictures, really felt the fun.

    Such a great tradition to have! Hope Josh's knee heals up pronto so you can cycle again soon.
