Sweet ride...

Pat and I have been talking about doing more activities together for a while now. Finally we decided on two areas that we think would be fun... the first one is photography, the second bike riding. So, a few weeks ago we went down and tested bicycles. A week later we came home with our own sweet ride! Pat got a Trek and I got a Raleigh. I like the Trek but you have to make your decision on how well it fits your body and the Trek just wasn't as good a fit for me as the Raleigh.

I love my new bike! I am excited for us to go on bike rides on a regular basis. We have plans to get a hitch to put on the back of his Pathfinder and then take the bikes with us to various places, such as: Yosemite, Chico (Bidwell Park), the American River bike path in Sacramento, etc. I think this will be a way fun adventure! And we can take photos along the way! =)

There are other benefits as well... we will get in better shape and bike riding is supposed to help your knees get stronger, which we can both use. And, we can invest time in our relationship - not that it is suffering, but who would want it to?! It's an investment, pure and simple, one that makes us both happy!
