Bike Ride

We took our bikes up to Smithville Lake for the first time today. I'm not counting when we took the bikes on our camping trip since I blew a tire and didn't get to ride. The experience was great! The trail is paved, fairly level, and follows the lakeshore. It was especially nice since it was Monday morning and there were very few people on the trail. We rode the section around the campgrounds. The only hazard on the trail is the frequent crossing of Canadian geese. They act like they own the trail (maybe they do?) but eventually waddle out of your way. It was our first bike ride in quite some time so we only did 5 miles. It was getting pretty hot by the time we got up there so we definitely need to go earlier in the morning. We didn't really notice the heat until we stopped and lost the nice breeze. On the way back home, we thought about getting the truck and putting the trailer up there for the week. Unfortunately, the week is supposed to be hot and stormy, so we'll try later.
