On Memorial Day we rode a section of the Banks Vernonia trail with the kids. After awhile of breezing along I realized we had been going slightly downhill since the beginning of the ride. Sure enough, the way back seemed A LOT farther and it was a long, hard ride back for the girls. They were troopers though and both said their legs were sore the next day.
I took this while riding my bike. Angela is right in front of me, then Emily, then Matthew with the trailer. It was a beautiful ride, I love this path.
Matthew took Angela on a fun ride for a daddy/daughter date. They drove to the Sunset Transit Center, took their bikes on the Max to the zoo and then rode bikes from the zoo back to the transit center. There is a nice path along the freeway. Matthew and Emily did this ride a year or two ago and Angela was excited she was old enough to do it. I haven't been on that path yet so I think it's my turn next.
My mom and I took this picture while on a ride in Helvetia, trying to get the field of red clover in the background, but you can't really see it. It was really gorgeous!
Matthew and I have been able to go on a few rides together which is really fun. For a date night, we rode on the Springwater Corridor which is a paved path starting just south of OMSI and goes along the water front for a few miles before turning east all the way to Boring, OR. We only had an hour before it was getting dark, so we didn't go that far of course. After getting back to OMSI, we rode up the waterfront. Thai food on the way home ended a fun date!
