Bicycling

We did a little bicycling as a family this weekend.  Hopped on the Tow Path trail and headed south into Akron.  It was quite a bit of fun as we stopped and had a little picnic half way through.  There is a train that runs the length of the trail that you can pay $2 and ride back up (with your bike) to where you parked.  We had thought we might do that, however when we got down to the end we realized the train doesn't start running until next week.

We did meet another couple who were planning on doing the same thing, but they had rented bicycles and need to get them back by 6pm.  It was already 5:15 and the girl had hurt her foot and was never going to make it back in time.  So Stacey stayed with the kids at the end of the trail, and this other fellow and I hopped on their rent bikes and hauled*$% back up the trail.  We did just under 7 miles in about 30 minutes (which is pretty good for me).  Once we got to our car we threw the bikes on the back and I drove him up to where they rented the bicycles.  We ended up getting them back with about 3 minutes to spare.  So not only did we get to help them out, but I actually got some good exercise out of it.
