We just got back from a week in the Adirondacks and rode our bikes almost every day. We did about 30 miles total; 11 of that was on the Warren County Bikeway with the rest being trips around town (to the park, beach, etc). Our two boys riding in the trailer had a great time and brought lots of comments.

I was waiting for some glue to dry on a shelving unit last night, so I took the Collegiate out for a half hour ride around the neighborhood, headed no place in particular

Last night went 5 miles on a strong pace, and my wife finally got to feel that burn in her legs that i have been telling her about. Up till now we have been just cruisin with our little boy on easy rides. I told her just think when we get back into shape we will be having to go 30 miles or so just to feel that burn again. I use to be an avid rider 10 years ago, since then got married, had a kid, gained weight, now starting over.

A few pics from some recent "just for fun" rides...
As if watching out for cars wasn't bad enough...

I only got off the bike to take the picture, I rode up the hill!

A road bike with 28mm smooth tires is not the best for mountain biking...

Tavern with a bike rack out front. (AKA: epic win)

Some scenery along the way-

Today my husband and I finally got out for a ride. We've had our bikes about 2 months, maybe a little less but I haven't ridden more than a dozen times. It's been a hectic month. Anyway, today we drove out to Manhattan Beach and rode the South Bay Bike path for 8 miles. It was a little gray and overcast which kept the temps cool for this time of year. Lots of people on the beach and on their bikes. All in all a fun day and 8 miles is my furthest so far but now I know I can do it

This is my kind of riding! I've been picking blueberries all summer and it messes with my after work fun ride... so this evening, I picked until 8:30, then put the bike into my truck and rode until dark in a quiet neighborhood. It was only 30 mins and 4.8 miles, but it was so nice. I just bought bar ends for my bike and I've been wanting to try them out, so tonight was wonderful.

Husband and I did our first little group ride this morning. We joined a group in downtown Los Angeles for a "meandering" ride. We were a small group of about 8 or so and completed ten miles of light, fun, social riding.
