Monday was biking day


Mirishana has a bike and beach boy has a BIKE and I have a bike. So off we went on Mirishana's first day of trail riding. She tells us she learned to ride on gravel so these paved trails we'll take today should be easy for her.

There is some city riding she is worried about but I'm sure she will master it soon enough. We went from the village to Meadow park in the North and on to Rainbow park in the South.
One end to the next!

Here we go..............


we start the day at the elevator.
It lives on the 1st floor and we live on the third so we wait...and make faces and adjust everything and wait.

The next issue of the day is collecting all the stuff from our bikes. We have had so many things stolen from our bikes in the lock up. Now we undress our bikes and leave everything in the car and take bare naked bikes to the lock up! So it took a while to get smart....



At last on the trail!




right after meadow park we run into a closed trail.
The days of high heat here has been melting snow

Oh good a detour map!




We go through a neighborhood and Mirishana gets some more street practice.
And we make it to the lake but we missed the lovely board walk along the lake...
So...........



not here....




But here we lift our bikes over the you know what!

OK so a crazy biker tells us how it stands in the flood area and we learn the board walk isn't under water.




There goes papa and Mirishana down the board walk



Papa decides to take the flood route



Mirishana takes a look at the flood site
I have new very expensive walking shoes on and so I decide..........

NOT to........

Mirishana decides NOT to take the flood route
and we go back the detour route to meet papa at the beginning



Once again at meadow park and we notice how much the water has risen.
It's over the grass


As we walk along we can see part of the park is really under water




We take a snack brake, some gorp Mirishana made for us
and then it's back to the garage to reverse the process.





It was a great ride!
