Biking | Caperton Trail

Distance: 8.9 miles
Difficulty: Easy

Jude has been asking to go on bike rides on a daily basis. Today we set out from One Waterfront Place with the destination of the Star City playground. I had not done my homework and somehow missed that this is about a 4 mile ride. On the way back we stopped at the Wamsley Cycle store and ate a packed lunch on their deck. After heading back to the car we decided on playing at another playground behind the parking garage then finished out another mile on our bikes to pass the lock and dam. 

Jett sat in his bike trailer and carried his yellow tonka tractor the entire way. It was heavily used at the playgrounds. 

Jude came home and rode his bike for hours longer in our driveway.

Hiking | Coopers Rock State Forest | Clay Iron Furnace Trail

Clay Iron Furnace Trail
Distance: 1 miles
Difficulty: Easy

I decided to take the boys out for another hike today on the Clay Iron Furnace Trail. We packed turkey/pepper-jack cheese sandwiches and cherries which we ate on the bridge at the furnace. The boys did great but I let them stop and play as much as they wanted so it took us 2.5 hours. 

*Of note, The boys an I have done many hikes in the past year but I have not logged them. Back to logging out outings here.
