On the way home we wanted to test if I could ride the bike with Reeve's trail behind bike and the bike carrier attached to the trail behind. It was too much for Tom's old tires and shortly after we got rolling we heard a very loud bang! My rear tire blew out. Tom rode my bike back to our house to get the truck to come pick us up. Luckily we were by an intersection. You'll notice it's the same Cty Hwy H rode where we saw the wandering cow on Friday. The kids and I waited a timely 20 minutes which was not bad at all and saved me from treking up the huge hills on the way home. Next time we'll make sure to bring the patch kit, tubes, and pump.
Reeve said it was the best day he's ever had riding the bike and he can't wait until we do it again. He was so good at it we're considering taking a 3day weekend bike trip. We can bike from our house to Sparta in less than a day. Camp in Sparta, and then bike home the last day. We've heard the campground in Sparta is really nice. By car Sparta is about 40 miles from our house. We just have to work out the logistics of what to bring and how to carry it. The trail behind can hold a lot of gear and Kyle.... we'll see!
