That's great that the family will ride wth you. It sounds like you had a couple of very nice rides. It sounds as if having Taylor along would be nice.
I would love to see a picture when you do get Taylor riding in a trailer with you.
After two rides in the trike to a park that he likes, Bailey knew the trike ride went to a place he liked. At first I went on short rides, the park is only 1.5 miles. So far he has gone about 30 miles in a day, stopping from 3 to 8 miles apart.
Our ride starts on roads for about a 1/2 mile. Then we switch to a bike path that has a lot of green grass and trees all along the way. Now, as soon as we get on the bike path, Bailey sees the grass and trees and starts getting excited. He knows he will be able to explore and run around on the grass soon. He has also learned that the bicycle shop (about 6 miles away) has dog treats and people that want to see him. He runs to get inside. What a life !
