When you see this, don't you naturally assume, "Hey, that looks like prime biking weather."
That's a frozen lake, people.
We had a 40 degree Saturday, and for us that felt like spring. Good enough for a bike ride. So we bundled up and explored the trails around Staring Lake, just two minutes from our house. And, even though the cross-country ski trails are still open, we had a lot of fun on our bikes. Peter LOVES to bike beyond anything else on this earth (skiing is probably a close second), and he was so happy when we asked if he wanted to go biking. He could have probably done the whole trail by himself, but halfway around the lake we convinced him to ride in the trailer with his sister so we could pick up the speed a bit. Scott and I had a blast riding around the lake together, and I can't wait to do it again. I feel like it has been so long since I really got my body moving. This wasn't a big, steep, or fast ride... but it was something more than packing boxes, unpacking boxes, hibernating, and playing trains (the major activities of our last few months). Brooklyn was a champ, as always, smiling and and enjoying the fresh air... buried in a fleece suit, a down coat, and a couple blankets in the trailer. She was snug as a bug in a rug, and rode contently the entire time.
We live in the state of 100,000 lakes, according to the license plates.
So... check 1 off the list. 99,999 to go!
