Sunday Riding!

Sunday we decided to go for another long family bike ride all through town.  It's quickly becoming one of our favorite pastimes.  Our house is about 100 yards from trails that connect all throughout town, so we are able to bike right from our doorstep.  It's pretty awesome!  A year later, and we couldn't be more happy with our house and it's perfect location!

We left the house about 11:15 and headed out for an afternoon of riding.  We rode the trails around our house for a bit before heading downtown for lunch.  We had lunch at Ale Works on the patio.  They just opened the patio for lunches this summer, and it was fantastic.  It's so fun to eat outside in the summer!  Right now, they have limited seating and a limited menu as they are trying to see if lunches would be successful.  We sure hope they eventually open the entire restaurant for lunch.  It's one of our favorite places, and lunch on the patio did not disappoint!

After lunch, we rode our bikes to the park.  Drew got to swing and go down the slide, and even ride on a zebra with dad!  He had lots of fun!  He's liking the park more and more each time we go, and it's fun to watch him figure it all out.

After the park, we rode around town on more trails.  It was a beautiful day and we had a great ride.  After riding a bit further, we decided to make a stop at DQ.  It was our first of the season, and oh so good!  After DQ, we rode up to MSU and around the campus for a bit before heading home.  In all, we rode a total of 18.6 miles.  It was such a fun day!  We have really been loving doing bike tours and it's pretty great that we can go straight from our house.  It was a perfect summer Sunday!
