Tour de Whidbey

On Saturday we headed over to Whidbey Island to participate in the Tour de Whidbey bike ride. Last year we did the 40 mile loop while towing the kids. This year we decided to tackle the 60 miles loop. Olivia had a soccer game so she stayed behind with some friends for the day. I was very sad that she was not able to join us and that I was not going to have anyone to tow.
Caedan enjoyed the snacks at the break stops.

The third break area had a fantastic view where Caedan enjoyed more snacks.
Caedan said that this was his rock and he wanted us to take it home. He even asked Robert to try and pick it up. Sadly, there was not enough room in the trailer or else I am sure that Robert would have gladly carried this rock for the remaining 22 miles!At the end of the 60 miles we enjoyed a nice chili lunch and Caedan made some new friends. It didn't take long before he had chased all of the ducks back into the pond. It was a beautiful day for a bike ride on Whidbey. Who knows which route we will choose next year. The only longer route left is the century...
