On the odd day where it's not too cold, Jess and I have had a chance to give the new trailer a spin, it's a bit weird pulling that thing around, but it tracks pretty nicely and rolls pretty smooth, although Abby seems to fall over in it, remedied by a couple of camping pillows stuffed beside her. I'm looking forward to going out to birds hill park, or some other more scenic areas than our neighborhood to give it a longer test. It sure is nice to have the family along on some rides with me, even if the are a bit short.
As far as long rides go, I'm having a hard time finding time to get out for a while, with me taking another class over the summer, and working full time again, and Jess going back to work part-time, the time I have at home is better spent with my daughter and wife. I have managed to get out a couple of times this year however, just hitting my normal route out to St. Adolphe and back. It's a nice ride, but I want to do something else this year.
Earlier this year I sold my mountain bike planning to replace it when the new models were available, and this week I picked one up. Big improvement without costing anything more. Here's a link to better pictures of it. LINK. I hope to get it on the trail soon and see how it performs. Now for the mother's day part. Jess, you rock, thanks for letting me play so much with my bikes, and putting up with me. You're a great mom, and wife. Thank you for your support while I finish school (can't wait for December). I know it's hard on you, but it will be over soon. Love you.
