Biking

My three guys!
Ready to ride! 
Loaded and ready to head to the starting point--26 miles away!

The cool breeze coming from the tunnels feels GREAT
Light at the end of the tunnel

Waiting for our cheese curds and sweet potato fries.
Sounds like a high energy snack, huh?!

On our way to MN, we stopped in WI and biked a 26 mile trail.  Three years ago we had biked the same trail.  It was really fun to see how much the boys had changed since then.  That summer when we last biked the trail Carlin was just a little shorter than me.  This year he is a couple inches shorter than Wayne.  He was among the last to finish last time.  This year he was the first one back.  This year Kyle is just a bit shorter than me.  Last time he had a single speed bike.  His bike this year was much easier!
The country side was beautiful.  The temperature was about 66 when we started.  It did warm up and got a bit humid.  When we would get close to the tunnels we could feel the cool air from the tunnel coming down the trail.  The last tunnel felt great.  The ceiling drips water and we were pretty hot and sweaty so it felt really good.  (There isn't much order to these pictures and I was getting annoyed trying to figure it out!)

Country Views











We have been trying to do quite a bit of biking before winter sets in. The colors have been beautiful. I love life in the country--seeing all the field work--and the smell of fall. Sounds weird, but I love fall--except it is too short and winter follows it!
This past Sunday we went on a nine mile bike ride--down past a quarry and over through a little village and back home. It was a perfect day for biking! Some of the pictures are a little blurry since I was trying to ride and take them at the same time!
