Summer has arrived … finally.  It has only taken 9 months to return but we hit our first 70 degree weather this week and it was quite welcomed.

This week was filled with my own cycling as well as several sessions with the granddaughters who are starting to rack up the miles on their quests to a 100 mile reward outing.  Admittedly, we don’t go very fast, 5-6 mph, but they are quite enjoying the cycling and are constantly asking to go again and again.

The youngest two, however, still think the bike cart is a great private chariot and based on the giggles and laugher, are enjoying it as much as their older sister is enjoying the trike.

One thing of note for other readers, don’t expect your cycling to be quiet times of contemplation with nature as all of my granddaughters tend to talk the entire time we are riding.  Lots of word games get played and lots of information is shared, mostly one way, but the memories and experiences are well worth not hearing the birds along the way.

And if the cycling isn’t quite enough, my youngest daughter discovered a Catrike Pocket in the garage that I had built for the local trike dealer last fall.  As it hadn’t sold yet, I asked to borrow it to see if it would be suitable as a “grown into” trike for the oldest granddaughters as the price was quite good.  But youngest daughter, 7 months pregnant saw it, and decided it was worth a ride.  She came back grinning and enjoyed cycling along with her daughters so … I simply had to buy it.  A few modifications will be needed for the granddaughters as they grow but I now have a quite happy daughter too.
