We've been busy bikers!

 

The two cuties passed out a few miles into our ride to Alki Beach. They do real good, Soeren is pretty talkative and into the ride when he is awake! Ave is talkative too when she is awake, but its usually because she wants something - aka Mommy time! We have been working on balancing our mileage and our breaks and stops, making sure the kids are fine and happy, - I'd say we are doing well and off to a good start. Plus it helps that Chris and I have been spot on with our communication, biking has actually sharpened that for us so far. I think that it is because we are in the moment, riding, talking, pointing, following each other, and deciding together. Also having each other to look out for, as well as the kids, keeps us triply (haha) aware of what is happening, and where we are heading. (All in all I think we make an awesome team! Can't you tell?)

Here's our set up - minus my panniers. Aren't we cute? BTW the kids are in there...still asleep.

The views from our ride to Alki

Chris heard some seals! They were out by one of the boats, I couldn't get a good shot of them with my camera though.

 

 We also went to Whidbey and back! 31 miles on day one, and 49 miles on day two! For a total of 80 miles that weekend! Unfortunately we left much later then originally planned on our first day, so to make it to the park and set up our tent before it got to late we hopped a bus the last 18 miles to the park. Here is the route so you can check it out!!

  Here are some pictures of the adventure as well!

A park we found just past Shoreline. Soeren was happy to walk around and go down the slide.

MMmmmm the glorious ferry! We finally made it!

Hello! Hello!

Sivananda and Daddy setting up the tent, at South Whidbey State Park.

 We found out on the way out of the park the next day that they actually have special biker/hiker campgrounds that are supposed to have a nice view overlooking the water. Too bad they weren't on the map...oh well.

Getting the kids all cozy for big day 2! And hilly Whidbey.

Stopped for lunch after that nice big hill coming up from the ferry docks! Whoooweee.

I have more fun rides to update the blog on! But they will have to wait for another day. My lovely Siva has been getting his baby canines in, and of course, the countdown has begun for our departure date so things have been busy busy busy!! We are very excited for the trip, and excited to share our adventures with you as well!! Keep checking back! I will try to post eack new blog to Facebook, so that it is a little easier to follow, but on the off chance I don't poke your head in ever once in awhile!
