Our Mother's Day/ Father's Day Gifts

Here they are! I am so excited about this gift and it was just completed on Monday when our helmets came in the mail. This is my first nice bike as an adult, so I am going to take good care it!

Since we've gotten our helmets, we have ridden our bikes every day and Jackson loves to sit in his trailer. I know I posted on Facebook a few weeks back that I was going to attempt riding a friends bike around the perimeter road here on base. Well, I did it and let me tell you it was so hard. I did it with a mountain bike that had the clip on shoe pedals, mind you I borrowed the bike so I wore my tennis shows. Jackson sat in a bike chair behind me and he liked it so much he fell asleep.

I have been wanting a bike, but wasn't sure how Jackson would like it. After riding the perimeter road, I was more persistent it my want for a bike, but I had to have a fat lady seat! Not a long distance seat like the one I borrowed. Do I need to tell you how bad that hurts! I don't think so, especially when the perimeter road is over 10 mile long and it took me 2.5 hours to ride and I burned 1180 calories! Ok, then! LOL

So now I sit comfortably on my seat and my pedals are perfect! So long gas, I have been riding my bike pretty much every where on base. I even road to the grocery store this morning, but they were closed. I guess I will take the car!

My bike is with the bike trailer and Jeff had the nice all black beach cruiser! No beach, but a cruiser!

Thanks Jeffrey, I love my bike & I hope you like your Father's Day gift!
