Okay Weather, Great Adventure

With some gentle prodding, I convinced Angie to go for a bike ride with me last night, with our daughter in the trailer. The weather was getting cloudy but the temperature was right and she agreed or acquiesced, either way we went. The ride was a little ambitious, but we had the trump card on our side: Carl Miller. Carl is an avid cyclist and unbeknown to him, I had elected him the emergency vehicle. We had decided to ride the Ravenel Bridge which is not a small feat as you know if you have driven over it, but to Carl it's a walk in the park. Based on that I had figured that if Angie and I, both novices, weren't able to make it back to the car, we could send carl back and have him come get us, or even better and way more fun considering his fear of anything under the age of sixteen, have him tow our daughter for us. (Chuckle)
Fortunately we did not have to have any help, although there was some great moral support and instruction, and all four of us rode the bridge from Mt. P to Charleston and back. Carl also is quite the photog and snapped a few pics of us huffing away.
I will also add a link to his new birding page, which is under development, but has some phenomenal photos on it.

He also wrote the pages so be suitably impressed, while recognizing it is a work in progress.

Enjoy!

Cool! We really struggled with whether or not to get s bike trailer, and ultimately didn't because of the cost, but I always think they look like fun.
