Trail Trek bike ride

Last Sunday we participated in the 6th annual Lincoln Trail Trek bike ride. We rode two years ago with Jonathan and decided it would be fun to do again. We weren't sure how the kids would do. On recent bike rides Johanna hasn't been a big fan of her helmet and Jonathan has commented on how long it takes to get to places on the bike. However, the kids did great on the Trail Trek ride. We took off from Antelope Park at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday for an 11 mile bike ride. Dusty pulled the kids in the bike trailer. We were told that in total 550 riders participated. There was also a one mile, 24 mile, and a 35 mile route. The organizers planned two very nice rest stops along our route. We're pretty sure Jonathan had about 8 granola bars by the end of the ride. (He just kept telling us "I'm hungry.") We got to chat with other riders, listen to some music, and enjoy a nice BBQ lunch after the ride was complete. It was so much fun and we can't wait to do it again next year! A picture of the kids just before we started our ride.
