Spring Time :)

I'm so excited that it's starting to get warmer outside, because now I actually am excited about being able to get outside. Our class went on a walk/ bike ride on Wed. that was a blast, it was nice to be able to get out of the classroom and get out on the Salem Creek Trail. We even saw some sort of muskrat type animal hanging out in a patch of water, but it was kinda unfortunate that said patch of water smelled like a porta-potty :(

For spring break we are going to Charleston SC. And we're staying on a little island there, so I'm interested to see if biking plays a larger role in the lives of the locals there. I feel like if I live on a two mile long island i'd ride a bike too.

Hello All,

So now that I've discovered this new world of biking I'm really excited about getting out in the community and just having fun and learning. I'm a really terrible biker right now, but I've been out riding, I've been trying to replace two trips that I would normally drive, so I try to ride to Krankies coffee now because that's within my distance limit that I won't have a heart attack en route. I've also been out on Salem Creek Trail a few times, and I've improved each time that i've done that (granted I still have to walk up the main hill, haha) The first time I went was on a Wed. I think and I was really surprised to see how many other people were out, and the amount of families that were out together. So my first time out was really enjoyable, enough so that I've been out several times since then.
