Another 20 mile bike ride is in the books

The Tour Dallas ride was a resounding success. We all had a great time. In the 20 miler group we finished 3rd place (from the end).

Kat rode the full 20 miles on her own bike. Tiger started out behind dad and the Bear in the trailer behind Mom. After a few difficult hills we decided to switch the trailer and afterburner.

Once I started pulling the trailer I realized that it seems to be having some kind of alignment problem. There was far more drag than it should have. I had just recently put new tires on, but I must have gotten something out of whack. This didn’t slow me down too much at first, but as the ride went on it started to hold me back quite a bit.
We all had a great time, and the kids even got some cool medals for completing the ride.

We are very impressed. Sam was sorry, yet glad that he missed it. Maybe he will catch the next race.
Ha ha. Well, we would have loved to have him along for the ride. I’m sure our pace would have been manageable for him. Tell him he has a whole year to get ready for the next one. No excuses this time 🙂
Or even better, he should join us in August for the Hotter n Hell in Wichita Falls.
SO cool! Yay for you all!
S, you look very sporty in your sunglasses and helmet! Love all the pics!
