Biggest Ride Ever

For my co-pilot that is.  No opie to babysit today, I needed to go to the market, so it was time to expand the range a bit.  First stop was the swap meet.  The fog was back in full force this morning. 

From there along the coast to the other side of town.  Plenty of Co-pilot snacks make for a better trip.

Half way to the farmer’s market we took a break to watch a giant date palm getting pulled like a weed

Then off to get some fruit, veggies and meat.

Even with plenty of cheesy crackers and fruit samples, energy levels were fading fast as we headed for home

Overall he trip went great.  We pushed both time and distance further than we had before.  The dividends were a bike full of food, some tired legs and a serious nap for Co-pilot while I am catching up on things.

Have fun, and Play outside!!!

The fog moved out to sea after lunch, so we hit the town before nap time.  Two playgrounds and a lap around the neighborhood in less than 45 minutes….

 

Father’s day went fantastically by the way, but keeping it simple, dad forgot to put the memory card in the camera.  Tons of fun, tacos and a trip to the beach, but no pics, just memories.

Drop Off and Pick Up

Making a bike ride out of  trip to the post office is a great way to inject a little adventure into the Friday lunch break.  It just so happened, there was a hole in the fog and a little blue sky peaking through.  Dropping off an outbound saddle.

After the drop off, and picking up the Pro Compe I was waiting for this week, it was time to hit the park for our first playground trip.

Then off through town to check the surf,

Around the point and back towards home the clouds and fog were closing in,

It is hard to imagine a better way to spend 45 minutes in the middle of the day. 

Happy Friday, Happy Father’s day and Go Play Outside this weekend!
