Bike Riding Time

The Pumpkin Patch Pedal

We did the Pumpkin Patch Pedal again with Emily in September. The ride went well and Emily enjoyed it. We might have to skip it as a family next year since the baby won't be old enough for the trailer. Emily always enjoys the rest stops! This ride starts and ends at a park with a playground that also has a little mini zoo/wildlife area. Emily enjoyed the playground and looking at the animals after the ride which helped make it a special treat.

MS 150 Ride

Greg did the MS 150 bike ride again this year after having taken last year off for it. The weather was a bit questionable and fairly wet on Sunday, day 2 of the ride. Emily and I had a lot of fun the first day, we went to a kids museum and by the time we drove to that day's finish it was time to wait for Greg. We were able to spend the afternoon with Greg and hit the beach in Ocean City, Greg and Emily went in the warm, heated pool, and then get dinner. The second day there was less for Emily and I to do mostly because the weather wasn't great and she was tired from the day before. After walking around for a bit, we got in the car to drive back to that finish which is the same as where Greg started the first day. We went to a mall that I had gone to a different year when Greg did the ride, but they were remodeling a lot of it, so there wasn't anywhere for Emily to have lunch and not much to look at since it was all under construction. We ended up finding lunch, but didn't really do anything fun that day. Here are some pictures:
