Back in the chariot again!

Battlefield Ride with Charlie April 2013 (30)

Last week we took an evening to hit the Park Tour Road at the Battlefield with Charlie!

It was nice to be back in the chariot with our little man! He went right in just like old times!

He's usually a good sport about things so we expected nothing more than a positive reaction!

There were several runners and others moving around the park. It was a lovely evening for a spin!

Even with Dynamo carrying the extra weight I still couldn't keep up with him and his sidekick, Charlie Boy! Charlie would shift to look out the back trying to keep his eye on me. I'm sure I was a little spec in the distance to him a lot of the time!

Nonetheless, I pedaled onward! And, when we finished we checked out the cannons again! Charlie had to practice his balancing skills!

He's not the same size he was last year when we were riding. Here's the pic from last June...

He had a big time back at the Battlefield! Nice cool evenings are great for rides with the little man!

Mountain Bike Monday - Ladies Ride at the Battlefield

Battlefield Ladies Ride April 21, 2013 (3)

My friends and I met up at the Battlefield on Sunday for a trail ride! While us ladies rode the guys headed out to Poco for their ride!

My friend, KE, rides the trails often so she agreed to take us on a tour of the Battlefield off road!

It was a lovely day for a ride. The park was green and lush and there were lots of visitors to the park. And, there were artillery exhibits too! There was a Boom every now and then!

We encountered lots of horses and their humans, along with Charlie's veterinarian.

I was attempting to be as talented of a photographer as Dynamo is, but not so successfully!

Knock on wood I didn't fall off the bike!

My friend, EV, is so funny! She always tells me no pictures! I told them they signed a disclaimer and therefore I'm allowed to take pics! I promised to only post good pics!

So...EV made me pose for a pic in return!

We had so much fun talking and laughing! It was a lot of fun just wandering around the park with two friends on a great day!

I'm hopeful we can do more ladies rides!
