As I was getting the families bikes out and ready for the ride I couldn't help but wonder if Meilee had it in her to go the whole 20 miles. Kim had them dressed real cute and the weather was perfect for a family adventure! Off we went with Kim worrying about what route to take because of the road riding with lots of traffic or sidewalk riding with even more foot traffic. Sidewalks it was! We rode for about 10 minutes of sidewalk riding when I was yelling back reminding the girls to stay to the right and watch for people walking, when I turned around, this women looking right at me and hearing the whole conversation decided to walk directly into the girls path and not move. STUPID PEOPLE! I quickly told the girls to get into the road with me, (knowing that we ride this way all of the time and they listen real good) and off we went until we hit the black top path headed down towards Marine City. We made a brief pit stop to ride up then down the sledding hill at East China park, then back into the path out of the park. Once down in Marine City we took a break in the park along the river front then regrouped and started the ride back home. The head wind was tuff but Meilee road for about 5 miles along the shoulder back and managed to stay steady. Once we made it back to the East China park we stopped for a hydration break. We made it back into down and up the really long tall hill, (that Meilee just cruised right up) and the short distance home from there. She was all smiles as we pulled into the driveway and just stood there with a look of accomplishment!
Way to go Meilee, you did great!!!
