    I got us a babysitter for the entire day so DH and I could go north and ride some single track. I got in a little over 20 while DH did about 30 miles. It was beautiful. I had never ridden this section of trail before, it was a lot of fun. What I liked about it was that it wasn't very technical, just smooth cross country single-track. We could just ride and ride and ride. A perfect way to spend the day.

    And we were even able to enjoy a leisurely dinner with friends afterwards.

    That sounds so nice, who needs a date night when you can have a whole day! And a quiet, leisurely dinner, so relaxing! We're sending the kids to the the Grandparent's for a weekend in June so that we can do the same thing. We can't wait.

    Our favorite dates are bike dates. We enjoy each others' company, love the scenery, and just generally have a great time. We sprung for 2 mtbs this year (last year's closeout models). Hoping to put lots of miles on them this summer. Hubby's last new bike was almost 20 years ago. It was time!

    Bike dates are great! We used to do trail-running dates, but DH can run so much faster than me, we never saw each other except for the car ride there and back. Biking is different. He can pace me for awhile and we'll have a fun time together, then we split up for awhile riding our own pace. It's fun.

    We have a couple of biking weekends planned over the rest of the year. We haven't quite figured out babysitters yet, but I'm sure it will all fall into place
