I picked up a new bike for Ana last night, a Giant Rincon W (woman's design frame) which came with decent components, disk brakes, woman's style seat, and weighs at least 15lbs lighter than her old bike.
We headed to "Hole in the Fence" Aka Wilderness Trails at Morris Bridge Park. We rode the main trail to Grandpa, back to the main trail, down Palmetto, back to the main trail, over Hog Wild and back to the main trail. From here we headed down Washboard. At the end of washboard we caught the main trail, and then headed down to the scenic overlook.
The yellow sign out there says "No Bicycles"...

Ana's Rincon W
After we checked out the overlook and rested for a few minutes we continued on down the main trail, out onto Morris Bridge Road, and over to Trout Creek park. We continued down to the paved loop and then hit the facilities and rested for a few minutes. After the rest we headed back the way we came, with the exception that we just rode the main trail back to the parking lot instead of taking any of the other trails back.
All told we probably ended up pedaling about 18-20 miles. Not bad for any of us, less lone someone who is completely new at riding trails. Ana had a great time but we realized quickly that she needs a camelbak, which we'll pick up before her next trail outing.
