We went out on the Xtracycle Edgerunner this weekend for a small exploratory ride. I wasn’t feeling very good after a big allergy attack. But getting out of the house and not riding too hard made a difference. When we got home I felt better.
We went north west with the goal of checking out Westover Park. While there we discovered an entrance to the West Ellerbee Creek Trail. We stopped and got a better look. Then went on down this short stretch of the trail. The boy remarked about the sun shining through the trees making cool shadows on the ground. At the end of this part of the trail we found a small field. Got to take the Edgerunner “off road”. The big knobby tires did well. Even with the boy on the back. He likes the bumps. 🙂
Then we turned around and went south back uphill ending up at Oval Park. The boy eagerly spent an hour looking for bugs to put in his mason jar.
