I Want to Ride My Bicycle . . .

Lately it seems we haven't been taking advantage of the great outdoors quite as much as we could be, so on Saturday we rented a couple of bikes and a baby trailer from BYU and headed out on a ride to Utah Lake.We had a great time riding along the Provo River Parkway Trail. Even though the trail was paved, flat, and we didn't go very far, we were still exhausted and sore by the time we got back. Seems like lots of classes and a couple of desk jobs have left us pretty out of shape.

Ainslie had a pretty good time. We took a break to let her run around at a cool little park that Janae found the other day, and Ainslie had some fun playing on the swings.After a few minutes at the park, we slipped on down the trail, and Ainslie slipped off to sleep.Apparently the trailer was pretty comfortable because she slept the rest of the way to the lake and most of the way back to BYU. While she was dreaming, we were enjoying some of the scenery on the way to the lake. And Janae made a new friend along the way too.As we rode back up to BYU we were all wishing we could be the one riding in the trailer, but we pushed onward, motivated by the thought of lunch at the Creamery. Mmm, burger and fries. A great way to spend a Saturday . . .

Sounds so fun! What a great family activity for a Saturday. Do you have to be a student at BYU to rent bikes from there?

I had no idea you could rent bikes from BYU. I'll have to look into that now. Looks like a lot of fun!
