Today was the first day off in awhile. When I asked Carter what he wanted to do today, the first thing he said was "mountain biking, I ALWAYS want to go mountain biking." Hearing that made me proud. That's exactly the way I feel...even though my bike rarely sees dirt, I'm always up for a good mountain bike ride.
We went to Moanalua Valley Park...although the weather had been beautiful for the past week or so, it decided to rain when I finally had a day off. Nice. We were determined to ride, and Carter enjoyed the muddier parts of the trail. This ride was a little more advanced than his previous ride at Bellows, but he hung in there. I was surprised at his ability to ride a single-speed w/ 16" wheels uphill.
We stayed on a dirt/gravel road most of the time, there were a few short sections of single track. Carter used this as a chance to hone his root jumping skills.
Jack did some Skuut riding. He liked riding downhill, but couldn't ride up it...here I am carrying it up the hill for one of his runs.
After the ride, I taught Carter how to clean his bike. He seems to enjoy it. Now I need to convince him to clean my bikes.
