New Hobby

On yesterday's chilly ride out to Bingham Canyon

Joseph has a great friend/relative who happens to be my sister's husband (so yes he is my brother-in-law--I take full credit for their friendship because I introduced them :) Anyway, my brother-in-law happened to have a great road bike he was no longer using and he offered to let Joseph test it out for a bit and see if it was a good fit.

So, the past 2 weekends my hubby and I have scheduled Saturday afternoon "day dates" for biking together. Last week, on our anniversary, we planned to ride around the Swaner Preserve near Park City after spending the night at the cabin. We woke up early (I still wonder how that happened when the kids slept at Nanny and Grandpa's and weren't even there to wake us up...?) got dressed in biking gear and ate a quick breakfast. As I was finishing my muffin I suddenly realized that I had packed up both of our bikes and both helmets but only packed my front wheel and not Joe's. Kind of an essential thing for a bike ride...boo. It was such a lovely fall day and I had wanted to ride up in the mountains...

Luckily, my husband is rather easy going and thought that riding in our own neighborhood (where we could retrieve his forgotten wheel) would be a great solution and he was right--we still had a good time together (although it was about 20 degrees warmer down here in the valley...)
