Some pictures from Sunday's bike ride

Wow, what a tough ride. After getting a good jump on the day...we lost some time when we had to find a place that is open at 8AM and sells presta valve bike inner tubes. After striking out, we manage to patch up an old inner tube. Word to those out there, the old style innertube patching system with the glue works better than stick on types they sell at the bike shops nowadays. Though, I have to admit, the stick on type is pretty convenient.

Nine of use made it to Mission Trail and started on the east end. WOW, nobody told us that the trail gets more advance as it went on. Our bike trip went from biking to hiking towards the end of the day. Some of the climbs and decent were way too difficult for our skill level. The sad thing is, we had Kat out on her first real trip with her new yellow Trek 4300. Sorry Kat, we'll make sure to pick a easier trail next time. Though you have to admit, it was a great workout carrying our bikes up and down the mountain. And we promise it'll be a lot more fun as well. Mental note, bring more water for next time. I think we all learn that lesson.

That was such a leisurely ride... if you have to leave early and turn around half way. :)
