We took the boys for a bike ride for the first time this season on Mother's Day. Ayden has been in the bike trailer before, but it was Cael's first time. Cael doesn't like hats so we didn't put the helmet on him the first time, and we were only riding around Ada Hayden. We only rode for about 4-5 miles and then Cael was starting to get cranky for milk/nap. The second time we went for a bike ride we went on a nice paved trail. We picked up Joel from work and drove to Slater to get on the trail. Unfortunately, Ames does not have any long, paved bike trails. Cael wore the helmet for about 20 minutes before he wanted it off. We took a picnic of Jimmy John's with us and stopped to eat before turning around. We biked a total of 20 miles and the boys did great. Ayden was being a good big brother and entertaining Cael and making him laugh. Towards the end Cael was getting cranky, but it was past his bedtime by that point. I thought I would be super sore the next day because that was my first long bike ride in a long time, but the only sore part was my butt from the bike seat. All the kickboxing and running that I do must have helped! We're looking forward to more family bike rides this summer!
Ready to go!
