Ride On

For whatever reason we hadn’t ridden in a while. Yesterday we changed that. We packed up the bikes and headed to our “local” trails for a nice jaunt.

The double shinguards proved to be awesome. No more scraped up calves and the girls could pedal in comfort.

They both rode impressively well for having not ridden for a month. They successfully climbed more and tackled more technical stuff (roots & rocks) than I would have expected.

Lauren’s sport glasses worked well too. It was pretty hot yesterday, so it was a good test for their potential to fog. Overall she liked the fact that she could actually see while riding.

We did a 6.5 mile ride, which was reaching the limits for Lauren’s strength. At a point near the end she was complaining that her thighs hurt. She didn’t buy it when I told here that was just weakness leaving her body.

Overall a great ride and really cool to see their progression.
