John’s Big Ride

Today’s Highlights:
On Sunday, my grandson John, who is 5 years old, rode twelve miles with me and his dad.  We rode part of the Erie Canal route along the Tonawanda Creek.  He averaged six miles per hour and hit an 11 mph max.  We saw boats and fisherman along the way.  At the half way point, we had hoped to get some ice creme, but the stand was closed.  Instead we had a granola bar and water in a shady spot near the creek, then continued the ride back.  At the end, John said he wasn’t even tired.

The map below shows the route. However, the statistics show an extra seven miles in it and a little higher average because I had to sprint back to our resting place to get a pair of sunglasses we had left there.
