It's on!

The weather looks good tomorrow, so our epic bicycle adventure is a go.

In case you haven't heard we are going to (attempt) to ride from Oma and Grandpa's house in West Jordan to our house in Roy using the Jordan River Parkway, Legacy Parkway, and newly minted Rio Grande trail. Total mileage is 51.4 miles. And yes, the whole family is going including chillens numbers 1 and 2.

I know what you're thinking: "that's too far", "the kids will never make it", "it's not worth it". Well... maybe. We are going to try our best, and we do have a number of contingency plans in case of unexpected... results. But I'll tell you what, since we've been planning this for about a year, and all the work that we've done to build up to be able to do this, I personally think we've already been successful. I'm especially proud of Netty to be able to go from not biking at all to being able to complete a 25 mile bike ride across Antelope Island. I've watched her just trudge on, even though she's tired and just wants to go home. And at the end, we both feel that good feeling that comes from accomplishing something that's hard.

So we'd like to invite our blog audience (what are we at, now, 4 or 5 people?) to follow along. I'm going to try to live blog our trip. So stay tuned between Friday night and Saturday night for all the juicy tidbits of our adventure.

Happy Trails!
