Mom and I rode 30 more miles of rail-to-trail on Saturday September 27. All of the Michigan Air Line Trail and the Huron Valley Trail, in both directions. Both fully paved, both very straight, and both very flat but for the bridge over M5 on the Michigan Air Line Trail.
Mom shattered her record for longest bike ride; her previous record was 22 miles. I haven’t been recording all of my miles this season, but I think today would put me close to a record for a single ride this year (but not my record for daily total).
Mom has steadily gotten much better on the bike. I’m so proud of her! Today she got in some practice pedaling out of the saddle, as well as just standing on the bike.
To date, the list of trails/rides I’ve done this season:
- Paint Creek Trail (twice with mom)
- Holly Recreation Area (twice with mom)
- Belle Isle + Detroit River Walk + Dequindre Cut (once with friends, once with mom)
- Flint River Trail (with mom)
- Polly Ann Trail (with mom)
- Michigan Air Line Trail (with mom)
- Huron Valley Trail (with mom)
- Ann Arbor ride (with friends)
- Algonac ride with my friend Andy
