Riding the Trail
pamelamyers | April 14, 2017
Today since the weather was so nice, we took Sam somewhere that she could ride on her bike for a long time without having to stop. We thought the new Chester Creek Trail may be a good choice since it’s relatively flat and straight and hopefully, wouldn’t be crowded like last time since it was a weekday. Success! It wasn’t crowded and Sam had a great time. She rode almost the entire trail – 4 miles! And there were no complaints of “I’m tired!” or “When can we go home?” like we would have heard if we had been walking. She did so incredibly well considering it was her first real “road test” where she was riding with other people walking or biking near her instead of being alone in a parking lot. Her starts have gotten tremendously better too! Here are some pictures of our day.
When we got to the end, I told Sam I’d take her picture next to her proof that she biked the whole trail.
There was a sign at the end indicating a bakery was up the road, so Mark went off to investigate. There was! He rewarded us for our hard work with some glazed donuts. Yum! We at them over by the creek. I love this photo of Sam and her dad, just relaxing.
Me and my girl. 🙂 I can’t wait to go riding with her again!
