On Saturday a friend and I headed out west of the metro to the rolling hills and horse country. It was sticky, yucky humid but thankfully the sun did not come out. We ended up with 50 miles. Yesterday, I took my niece out to one of the nearby trails where we pedaled our way to 5 miles. She had been using my mountain bike helmet while staying with us but before our ride yesterday we stopped at the LBS where I bought her her birthday present: a new bike helmet. She was so excited! Hope we can get her out on a longer trail ride next weeked.
