Biking in Bluffdale

Julie and I spent a good portion of the last 2 days fixing numerous tires, tubes, wheels, seats, chains, and brakes.  We got all the bikes out of “storage” (they were under a tarp for the winter) and tried to get them all functioning properly. The kids want to go biking.

It took more than a fair amount of elbow grease, but everyone was able to go biking in Bluffdale today.   I stayed home with a napping Steven and JR, but the rest of the family headed out to explore the area.   I grew up here, but it’s changed a lot from my childhood, so even I don’t know what they’ll find.

The Jordan River Parkway runs right near our house and so they headed that direction.  That trail will take them from Utah Lake in Utah County, to the Great Salt Lake in Davis County.  As a first trip out I don’t expect them to make it anywhere near that far.

I’m typing this while they are gone, so I don’t know what adventures they’ll have out biking; what treasures they’ll see.  When you see them, ask.

I just wanted a reason to type; to write… about something more positive than I shared last time.   Maybe if I just find small, simple reasons (like biking ) it will help me build some momentum to just keep writing.  I like to write.  I like putting (some of) my thoughts into words.
