Chicks riding fast ---------------------------

Yes, it was a fast one tonight.  I won't bore you with the musical bike situation, but we got Karen on a road bike and it was fast!   I think we may vote to keep her on a mountain bike so at least we have a chance.  We ventured out of the safe zone and took the trail to Sand Canyon to meet up with our Strawberry Farms trail. 

The chicks got some experience merging into and out of traffic and spending a little time on the road. We remembered to drink water and keep hydrated.  We had very few stops and ended up with an average over 13 miles per hour even with our stops.  Great Job!

Karen says, "It was fun, but I was a little nervous."  The gearing and breaking is a bit different but definitely you can tell with the acceleration after you slow down or stop.

As the summer picks up we notice more and more people out enjoying the trails.  Means we have to keep our wits about us and try to keep a steady line. 

Next up is pace lining.   Ok after a Margarita ride.  Really, we are going to do that ride, I promise.
