New Hobby

Jerry found a new hobby after he got a bike and no it's not just biking... But mountain biking. Well since he got a new hobby of mountain biking I also got it be default. I still have a mountain bike that I have had since who knows when.. Maybe 1992? I took it to college at MU but decided it was not fun to ride my bike to class. With the exception of short bike rides to the park with Alex I haven't ridden it in forever. Lately we've been doing some trails around Fenton but they were all flat (off road dirt.. Lots of weeds). Yesterday we took Alex to Castlewood(because the child has memorized my cell phone number and called be every day this week asking me to take him biking. (So I guess I should say that Alex has a new hobby too) We asked which trails might be easier for a 10 year old (soon to be 11 year old) They weren't too bad, but there were some tough parts and Alex and I both wiped out. Well I jumped off my bike and fell when I knew I wasn't going to make it up this huge incline... But Alex stayed on his bike and therefore rolled back down gained more speed and the bike fell on top of him! Poor little guy... Wait what am I saying he is as big as me. Well we all survived and today I am a bit sore but all in one piece. I don't have any pictures of us biking because the boys wouldn't let me bring a camera... Plus who knows where I'd have kept it. Here is a picture though from a website. This was just the beginning of one of the trails. Maybe next time I can sneak my camera a long!
