Testing out the bikes on a trail which isn’t too technical for Ben. Usually I am running alongside but this time I am ALSO on a bike! So Ben has to handle braking and shifting on his own with no mom parachute 🙂

A sweet little meadow along the wooded way.

Here comes Ben with Daddy behind. He enjoyed time riding with Dave, as did Sam. They each got time with Dave 🙂

Ben was being his loud self in the truck, singing, as Dave deftly hooked up four bikes to the carrier. It is no easy trick. A young couple came by and got in their Jeep. I could tell by the multiple looks that they were thinking what I used to think upon seeing this sort of scene…”My goodness. Wow. I am not sure I’m ready for ANY of that!”
