Gareth and I headed out for our customary Saturday morning ride today, doing about an hour of riding in circles while I belted out a few of his favorite songs.

Nothing new there, but what was new was later in the evening when Gareth said he wanted to go for a walk. We let him choose our path, and it was evident to me that we were walking the same streets we biked. We stopped to ask him if he was showing mommy where we rode. Sure enough, he said yes.

With the exception of one street, he took us on the exact path we traveled that morning.

Gareth and I rode his Pino in the Colyer Lake 4th of July parade this year. It is a small community parade that invites anyone and everyone to get in line and traverse the two mile parade route.

Thanks to a gentleman handing out free beer, the parade made frequent stops, giving us plenty of opportunity to sit and wait for the tractor in front of us to get a move on.

We had a great time, though, and got lots of reactions from the spectators.

Our family went camping at Parker Dam State Park over the weekend, so we took both Gareth’s bike and my trike, allowing the entire family to go for a ride.  I highly recommend that park if you’re looking to camp in the central PA area.  It’s incredibly well kept and offers lots of activities.

If anyone out there would like to buy a Hase Pino but save about $2,000, take a look at this listing over at BentRider Online. With only 100 miles on it, it looks like it is in excellent condition, and you can avoid shipping costs if you’re in the Huntsville, AL region.
