Chalco Hills Bike Ride











Last Sunday we went for a bike ride at Chalco Hills Recreation Area. I wanted to check it out because I might do a Women's Triathlon on August 23rd and wanted to "feel-it-out" to see if I could do it. We found a nice place to park next to a playground perfect for Samantha. We rode the loop 1-time around (about 7 miles) and then we were done for the day. The clouds started to look omnious and it had started to sprinkle on us as we got close to the end of the loop, so we decided to call it quits. The trail had a lot more hills and a lot more tight curves than we were used to riding on the West-Papio or Keystone Trails, so it was still challenging, especially for Doug who was pulling a lot of weight behind him!




Samantha had a lot fun playing at the playgound while Doug loaded up the bikes. There were 3 older boys that took a liking to her and helped to catch her at the bottom of the slides and also held her hands as she crossed the bridge.
