NR-147 miles by yourself?

I did do the TDP, planned on riding my fixie down and joining a group I sometimes ride with. Last minute I decide to ask my son (11) if he wants to go, and surprises me by saying "yah", so we recruited his brother (5) as well to ride in the trailer. So I drove down with two bikes and the trailer, didn't feel safe riding home with that wide trailer and my son on his own bike, though he did demonstrate some pretty good bike handling skills. I decided we would do the short ride and allow him to use his own bike, more fun for him. He did 12 without complaint, think he enjoyed counting the miles we traveled, didn't complain and charged up some of the hills. Twas well run though we didn't feel like waiting in the Chipoltle line and I hadn't burned too many calories anyway. It was nice going slow without any real effort, often forgot that I was pulling that trailer.

Ellen-Good to see you- Jim and your boy-cool Garmin arm warmers. Where did you get them at that size?
