pedal on for miles...

i am anxiously awaiting the weekend once again. lots going on but the main event will no doubt be my kids bike marathon to benefit non-public education at minnehaha falls park in minneapolis. it's a nine mile trek that we have participated in before but never completed the full distance. we skipped out last year due to a fall soccer game but this is the first year that all three of us will all a., be on bikes, and b., not using training wheels. one year i walked, while the kids biked but this was not an ideal scenario as you might imagine. the weather is supposed to be warm an windy, a perfect fall day! our plan is to finish the nine miles and short of any unforseen pulled muscles, sore butts, are complaining riders, i think we'll be ok. we will collect the full pledge amounts either way :-) wish us luck and i will report back soon.
