Long bike ride



Yesterday, we packed up and took the girls on a bike ride on the Cannon Valley Bike Trail. We went from Red Wing (Old W. Main Access) to Welch Station Access (and a detour to Welch for an ice cream break)....round trip total of a little over 19 miles. Lolo was amazing as usual....she rode behind Jim on the tagalong. Norah rode (and sang and napped) behind me in the chariot.
Here's an interesting factoid...the whole bike ride took us about 4 hours (including stops for a picnic, fruit snack, turkey watching, deer spotting, ice cream, etc).....Aunt Vicki RUNS a marathon in less time than it takes us to do a shorter BIKE ride. Norah especially was very impressed.
As I'm uploading these pictures, it occurs to me that our family eats a lot of ice cream. May explain why the "baby" weight was so difficult to get off.
