The 10 mile ride was through the neighborhood between McCart and Crowley, up to the SW Baptist Seminary. Then we crossed over McCart into the neighborhood just west of there (South Hills) and came back. We crossed I20 on McCart which was more than she was ready for, especially since it was fully dark by then. We walked our bikes across the freeway and ducked into the neighborhood south of it.

I think part of the reason she likes riding her own bike is the challenge of climbing hills. She wants to build up those muscles so she can eventually ride with groups without slowing them down.
