Mountain Bikers




At Lake Tahoe there were a lot of scenic bike trails. We rented some bikes and explored the beauty of the forest. Since Payton was five, the rental place said he couldn't ride his own bike. Dad had to pull a little trailer behind him. It was a heavy load, especially when we had to go uphill. This was my favorite activity of the week. It was so peaceful and the views were breathtaking! We got off our bikes for a couple minutes to explore some old vacation homes from the 1800's. It was next to Pope's Beach. Austin was very upset the whole bike ride because Payton was a free loader. He thought it was soooo unfair that his little brother didn't have to pedal or work hard. He is wacko. Isn't bike riding supposed to be fun???
Austin and Brandon were so amazed when they discovered their bike had gears on it. I'd have to say they shifted gears probably one hundred times in one and a half hours. Now Brandon says he wants a mountain bike for his birthday. Well, November is a long time away...
