Flattop biking

Svea told me it would be too bumpy, and she was right.
I wanted to bike with Van from Flattop parking lot to either Prospect Parking lot (which is closer) or Hilltop Ski Area (which is farther). So Andy dropped us off at the top and we had our phone to call him for a pickup, where ever we ended up.

It's all downhill and flat, Van's favorite and although I had heard the trail was bad, I still wanted to try it.
Poor guy had a pretty bad wipeout because of all the rocks and bumpy trail. He wasn't hurt, but was shaken up and upset. He did great most of the way, but all it takes is one fall to ruin the fun, so we walked our bikes and took the first turn off at Prospect. Instead of waiting for Andy to come get us we biked through the neighborhoods towards him, that was probably the best biking of all.

Still, it was a fun evening playing with my little man.

Stopping for a snack

I told him to 'hey, look at me', but I meant 'look at the camera'

 

 When I explained my mistake, he thought that was funny and decided to look even harder at me.

Van. You can tell he doesn't avoid the puddles.

 

 What a great biker! I need to find some better trails for him. I love taking him out for adventures. And thanks to Andy and Esther for being our support crew for this ride.
