One day during the week we had to run down to Wenatchee to take Ele back to Sears. We still had some concerns regarding her tires and wanted them to double-check them for safety. So we dropped the car off and took out our bikes. We rode to the
Apple Capitol Loop Trail which was just a few blocks from Sears. This 11-mile paved trail took us along one side of the Columbia River and then back along the other side. This was sooo much better than sitting in the service department!
Friday we chose one of the "easy" mountain bike rides - the
Wenatchee River Road Trail. This was on an old dirt road, so in that sense it was an easy surface to ride on. But the hills are what added the challenge. But just as we were whining about the hills and how this should've been labeled "moderate", we cross paths with a dad and his kids on their bikes. Ok, so if a six-year old girl can do it, why am I whining? Aaaah, you have to appreciate how life can slap you upside the head with a little perspective every now and then.
Our first signs of fall....a red maple. We are just now starting to see splashes of yellow and red. I was afraid we would be too early for Fall Colors in the North Cascades, but it looks like we might be right on time....
