6 & 10

Saturday morning we went for a "family" bike ride at the Arboretum and Bent Creek.  Bobby and Thompson took off while William and I "followed" behind.  Well...William's little legs pedaled his 12" bike 6 miles!  We biked from the Arboretum into Bent Creek and up to Lake Powhatan  a solid 40 minute ride, gradually uphill, with several water-break stops along the way.  But William never once complained.  Our game to get us back to the car as fast as possible (as I figured Bobby and T would probably be waiting on us) was to see how fast William could bike, calling out his speed...and he did make it up to 10 mph a couple times.  And as for Thompson, he and Bobby rode 10 miles and Thompson proclaimed "I love to climb!"
