Today was absolutely spectacular outside. 76F, light breeze, and not a single cloud in the sky. Today was the first time we were able to get Alana into the bike trailer a friend of ours from work lent us to see if Alana would do OK with it before we took the plunge and bought one.
I don't know, this is her after the ride:
I think she liked it! She just talked and talked the whole way.
Most of the ride was pretty uneventful except for having to stop and wait for a 5-6 foot rattlesnake to cross the road. Since this was a first for both of us, I took it easy, with a few exceptions...When we passed the rattlesnake I put the hammers down and took us up to about 20mph...Alana started laughing and going weeeeee. So a few other times I did the same thing and she loved it. I tried to keep that to a minimum though so Ana could ride next to us and see her. We stopped once in the shade in the parking area at Bruce B Downs Blvd so we could make sure she wasn't getting a sunburn and wasn't getting overheated. We'll have to do this early in the morning once summer gets here.
