Monday was a lovely day for an hour long ride, so we did just that. Since this was the first extended ride of the season, we kept to the local neighborhood. We normally ride to Gareth’s elementary school and ride loops around the playground because it’s nice and flat – and because we can do figure eights around the basketball hoops.

I’m not so sure we can keep doing that.

While riding along a wall of the school, I noticed a sign that is either new or has escaped my attention for the past year. It read, “NO SKATEBOARDING, ROLLERSKATING, OR RIDING BICYCLES.” My suspicion is that it’s new because I can’t imagine having missed that on all of our prior playground rides. Plus, it was suspiciously clean and shiny.

My approach here is largely going to be to keep riding there until somebody yells at us, at which time we’ll just move to the parking lot. Certainly, we can stick to riding on the streets, but these flat self-contained areas are a lot more relaxing.
