happy trails

We are fortunate to have some great biking trails in sw Ohio.  http://www.miamivalleytrails.org/index.html 

The plan was to ride as much as possible this weekend but was a bit delayed due to rain Saturday morning. Cleared off into a nice day, so off we went.  The cool part was I was able to take my 10yr old son Nathan on the Corwin to Morrow trail.  The farthest he has ever been on his bike is about 1.5 miles from our house to Stubbs Park.  When it comes to kids there is a fine line between pushing their limits and pushing them beyond the limit.  I wasn’t sure how far he would really make it.  I had just put a cycling computer on my bike so we were able to see how fast we were going and maintain a consistent speed – albeit a road burning 6-8 mph!  He did great!  We rode from Corwin down to the bridge by Morgan Canoe rental place, which is just shy of 6 miles.  All together we biked a little under 12 miles.    

All the hard work was rewarded with ice cream from The Corwin Peddler.  Two scoops in a waffle cone.  Those things were as big as our heads but we both finished them. 

It was a great just to spend time with just Nathan.  Having three kids you have to work at getting on one time with them.  Unfortunately I don’t do it nearly as much as I should.  We do a lot together as a family, but there needs to be more of this type of thing.  Its worth it!  Plus there’s ice cream.
