New Wheels

Easton and I have been working on his Cycling merit badge for scouts.  The requirements are pretty intense....complete two 10 mile rides, two 15 mile rides, two 25 mile rides, and one 50 mile ride.  Last week at Calloway Gardens we completed a ten mile ride and we wanted to get another ten-miler done this week.  Easton's bike needed a tune-up and the gears checked so I took it into the bike repair shop to get it done.  The bike mechanic informed Easton and me that it would cost more to fix the bike than it would to buy a new one.  So, we donated his broken bike to the store for charity and headed to Wal Mart to get a new bike.  Easton picked a way cool bike with 21 gears.  It's going to be great on all of our bike rides coming up.

Another 10 mile ride was completed this week.  We drove to Sims park and  around the park four times and then back home to get our ten miles.  We are hoping to do the 15 mile ride in the next week.  Our goal is to complete all the rides before it gets too cold.  Wish us(me) luck!!!
