Bike Ride

I cant believe that I just finished telling you that we would never go on another "crazy-long" bike ride. So... what did we do on Saturday morning?
You guessed it!
Gluttons for punishment.
We actually had a great time, and a really good work out. If you haven't tried the River Mountain Loop Trail you defiantly should, especially now that the whole thing is paved. The trail is 31 miles long and loops around the mountains and down next to Lake Mead. It's just awesome for riding the bikes! and there is no traffic to worry about!
(A picture of the map. Just for you.)
My only recommendation?
When pulling a 40 pound bike trailer- don't start at the top of the hill.
We passed several parking lots closer to the lake, and were wishing we didn't have to ride all the way back to the top! FYI: there is a parking lot at the bottom :)
We did have fun. And would LOVE to do the whole loop one day! (without the bike trailer)

So I still think you are crazy, but it looks fun. Kudos to you guys-- so when is the 20 miler coming?
