Super Bike Train!!!

I borrowed an additional tagalong bike (thanks Dave and Michelle!) so now the three kids and I can go bike together (and make Laura look lonely on her bike :-)

We rode into Ft. Stevens and over to see some of Laura's family who were camping. So we rode this contraption for about 6-7 miles. It's fun, but not very stable. The kids like to lean to see around me, and I was concerned for the safety of people passing us going the other way on the bike trails. Everybody came through it well, though, and it was fun getting honks, pointing, and waves from people as we passed!

The Rest of the Story . . .

I later found out that I was running on a stress-fractured tibia. Y'ouch!

Still hurts a bit . . . the orthopedic doctor had me get off of it for a couple months. Now that it's OK for me to bike, I've gone every morning for almost 3 weeks straight! I've got a lot of catching up to do. I did get over-eager, though, and was hammering too hard out of the seat. Then my leg got sore again. So, I'm still going but kicking it down a couple notches. Anyway, I love it. It's a GREAT way to start the day and get me awake and fired up.
