Colorado Bike Ride

I decided to challenge myself today. We didn't have plans today until lunch time which was awesome. Paige was up a little too early so her an Tara took a little snooze. I decided to let my mom and Aunt Donna chat so I borrowed their bicycle and went for a cruise.

I went in and out to the garage three times before I could actually leave. I forgot my sun glasses, then I decided I should take some money just in case, but lastly of course, my phone...in case I got lost or the bike malfunctioned.

Along the way, I took some pictures of the beautiful Colorado Springs scenery. How lucky was I? :) I decided that the strip mall which had my favorite place Panera, wasn't too far away. My 1.2 mile ride there was fast because it was all DOWNHILL!! I found my way pretty well. I drank a diet Pepsi and sat and listened to the business people around me all while thinking, 'ha, I'm on vacation.'

Afterwards, I pedaled around the strip mall. The I decided to head back. Now coming back to my Aunt and Uncle's wasn't as fast or easy. However, I just took my time and enjoyed it. I considered it my exercise today too.

My legs got a little burn and sore, but I made it back. It was fun to go on an adventure by myself in Colorado Springs. Today, I am glad I took my bike ride around my the hood! :)

One more thing. Tonight we decided to go bowling...the older verse the youngers with my cousin Nick. Us younger cousins tore up the adults. I even bowled a 175!! It was a lot is fun!
