Cooper has been practicing really hard at riding his bike (w training wheels). We have been hitting the bike trail maybe 3 times a week for a few weeks.....on his request. I do reward him with a stop at Farmhouse Coffee for some ice cream. :)
Yesterday evening he asked to ride his bike so off we went. We decided to stop at the playground first (which is right off the bike trail). The plan was to play for a little bit at the playground....than bike the rest of the way to get some ice cream where mom would pick up Cooper and I would sneak in a late evening/night ride.
Well....Coop was having so much fun at the playground that I couldn't get him to leave. As the sun was setting, I finally got him to leave but it was getting dark quickly and also getting chilly. I broke out my night riding light, strapped it to his helmet and also gave him my cycling coat. Off we went...riding into the dark! Those that know me, know that I love mountain biking at night....so riding with my son on the trail in the dark with matching cycling jerseys and lights made me smile! I look forward to blazing some trails with you Cooper in the future!
