First bike ride this season!

We had a great time!

Rylan learned how to ride a bike last fall, and since winter came quickly, he didn't get much practice in- but BOY did he do GREAT! Even more impressive was his side-kick Brayden. The ENTIRE time we rode the trail, Brayden cheered Rylan on, encouraged him, and coached him. "'Good job, Rylan'!, 'Push, push push the pedal after it gets to the top!', 'Wow! I can't believe how fast you can ride'" He was SO great with his little brother.

Ry only bailed three times, and two of those times, he was able to JUMP off his petals and spring to his feet without actually falling. A woman speed walking behind us was impressed. She said he's lucky he has good balance and good reflexes. I bet her jaw would drop if she ever saw him run across the high beam at gymnastics or do a front tuck onto the mat with no hands. Rylan's third and final bail was seen first by Brayden, who jumped off his bike and went to the rescue. He was able to get to him and pull the bike off his FACE before I even got there.

We made it past our goal of Agway, all the way to the health food store. We sat at a picnic table and had a nice lunch and break. We all did some leg stretches, and headed back to the van. the kids rode even faster on the way back.

Brayden was so impressed with Rylan's bike riding skills, he made him a present when we got home. Rylan was so impressed by Brayden's generosity, he made Bray a present :) (Bray wrapped up a wooden castle, Ry wrapped Bray up a baseball)

A good day indeed!
