I bought a new bike this summer and have totally loved exploring new trails. Last weekend Mitch, my mom, and I went to Fort Snelling to ride our bikes to Minnehaha Falls. It was perfect weather, we were done before it got too icky humid outside.
My mom has really gotten into bike riding in the last few years as well so it was a fun event for her as well. Whenever she comes down to visit for the weekend she always brings her bike but it seems every time she comes it rains and rains and rains and we never get to get out and bike. It has turned into such a joke that at one point this weekend Mitch said, "in the nicest possible way Janet take your bike, go home and take your weather with you!" he he....
We walked down about 500 stairs to take the trail to the bottom of the waterfall only to find out the trail is under construction and we had come down the stairs to just walk back up. Instead of trudging right back up we followed the trail along the creek for a few more spectacular views.
When Mitch and I go out biking we bike next to each other and chat as we bike, but when we are with my mom it all of a sudden turns into a crazy competitive race. She gets this evil look in her eyes and peddles like mad passing us which in turns makes us start peddling like mad to pass her. We all end up back at the car sweating, laughing, and arguing about who beat who!
