I said, when the kids started biking this spring, that I thought they might be able to make it from Bedford to Cambridge by the end of the summer. Today Quinn biked with me (on rollerblades) to Arlington and back. That's a 15-16 mile round trip.

I think I need to find a Teenyman Triathlon for him.

Oh, cool. Congrats on your little athlete. I used to walk that trail when I lived on Oakledge St. in Arlington.

I wonder if we could get Kfir to bike with your guys? He's really hesitant about biking.

Could be! Why is he hesitant, do you know? I'd be happy to get them together some time on the weekend -- assuming that I can keep these guys on enough of a schedule to meet someone at any given time. :-)

Saturday is wide open. We don't have to meet at a specific time you just let us know when you are leaving and where we shold meet you and that would work well.

You've cloned Greg Lemond. You're mad I tell you, mad.

Wow, that's amazing. How did he do with the grade on the way back through Arlington?

20 years from now when he wins the Tour de France, you can tell the reporters he was doing 16-mile rides before he was out of training wheels.

I was worried about the uphill grade myself, but the ironic thing is that his overall speed from Arlington back to Bedford was a little higher than his average speed on the ride out.

I have to think it was because of the pizza in his belly and not that I've produced a whirling little perpetual motion machine.

Liam's been doing 2.2 mile rides around Horn Pond and the hills there are significant. Mt theory is that they are so close to the hill that it's not much of an impediment to them :)
