A family ride

One of our vacation goals that didn't come to be was the 15-mile full moon bike ride. In the end I wasn't sure if Sunil could make it for the full fifteen miles, and I wasn't sure he could do the whole thing in the three hours allowed. But he had worked very hard before we left to show that he was up for the ride and felt a little bit cheated that we didn't get to go. To make it up to him I promised him a ride around White Rock Lake in Dallas. Sid and Sheela were going to their HATs meeting there anyway, we'd just tag along.

As it turned out they missed the meeting, but caught us in time to have us bring their bikes too. We ended up taking a family ride around the 10-mile trail. It was a beautiful day to be out by the water: overcast but warm, breezy but not gusty. We did the whole ride in just over two hours, including an ice cream stop. Sunil slept the whole way home in the car but he did great. I was pretty proud of the rest of us too.
