Locally, there are wonderful bike trails called 'Rails to Trails.' Old train tracks have been paved into miles and miles of bike/running/walking trials through scenic forests and towns.
Recently, we had the most gorgeous weather one Saturday; zero humidity, pure sunshine in a bright blue sky punctuated by cotton clouds. We drove our bikes to a nearby trail and got started with our lunch packed in a backpack. Hayden completed 6 miles by the time we finished!!! We did stop half-way by baseball fields to eat our lunch and watch the game. It was such a wonderful, perfect way to spend the morning as a family. We hope to do it again soon!
