The last entry questioned our lack of rides. That’s not really a problem now. Gareth and I did neighborhood rides on the 19th and 22nd, followed up by another ride on the Lower Trail on the 23rd. The biking bug has definitely bitten again.

In other news, the whole family will be biking in this year’s Tour du Port in Baltimore, MD on October 21st. This event will mark the first time Gareth and I will engage in extended road riding. Until now, we’ve stuck to trails, paths, and maybe a short stretch of street near the house. Brandy will also be making her road debut on the Catrike.

After some extended rides with the rock climbing harness, Gareth has professed his love for the comfort it affords him. This is great news as it means he is still happy to ride even after an hour and a half! One of these days, I’ll get photos together to show what modifications we’ve made with everyday materials in order to facilitate his cycling.

I’d tell you if I knew. We did a short (2 mile) ride on August 25th with some other family while at a reunion. Since then, the Pino has received no love. These days, Gareth would rather play Wii Sports Baseball.

On the one hand, it’s his bike and he’ll ride it when he wants to. On the other hand, I want to ride it now.
