Brian and Paul both are working on their Cycling Merit Badge.  This badge requires two 10-mile rides, two 15-milers, two 25-milers, and the last ride is a 50-miler.  We have completed both the 10-milers and one of the 15-milers.  This afternoon we’ll complete the second 15-miler.

Halfway through the first 15-miler

Most of our riding so far has been on the Iron Horse Trail.  Other rides will take us to Lafayette Reservoir, Alameda, across the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito, and the American River Bike Path, near Sacramento.

We’ve never been big bike riders, so this is something new and fun for us to take these long rides.  It’s fun to pass through the different communities and watch everything and everybody go by.
