I always have a plan, but my plan does not always end as expected. For a few months I have been wanting to take the boys on a real mountain bike trail. With temps reaching in the 80's today...lets go! We loaded up 3 bikes (I planned on hiking with Fran) and headed to the trails.
Only 1/4 mile into the trail, Alex hit a down grade slope and could not brake as intended. Unfortunately, it only takes 1 scare and alligator tears to call it a day! We turned around and completed our 1/2 mile bike ride.
We will give it another year and try again...until then, we will stick to our hikes and nature walks, leaving the bikes for the streets and BMX park.
