Day 27-11 miles

A little pre-ride park time.
Truth be told, I'm not really ready to give up the 30 day challenge. It's been a great feeling of accomplishment to ride 27 days consecutively and I am dreading the day that my streak ends. Will it be from sickness, busyness, vacation or just pure laziness? This biking habit is pretty well established now and I find myself on the bike whether or not I want to be. One of my very favorite things about this journey so far is the discovery of so many other like-minded folks--especially the mamas since their experiences are most similar to mine. I had no idea there was such a strong cargo biking community and such a welcoming one at that. It amazes me that if I have any questions/ideas/concerns, with just a couple of emails or website posts, I can have 10 different suggestions and tons of resources at my disposal. Even though I am so new at this "cargo" biking, I already feel like "one of them." 

This morning, I was fortunate to spend time with a couple of awesome bikey mamas. One of our local Yuba mamas, Kate, met up with us at Doughbots for our Little Loop ride. Another mama just happened to be at the right place at the right time and we got a chance to visit with her, too. I love seeing and learning about what other families are doing to set up their kids in style and comfort and how to transport them safely. Every one has such unique preferences, routines, and abilities and yet we're all still dealing with similar challenges and working out solutions. Kate and I live in completely different areas of Sacramento so unfortunately we didn't have much time to ride together but for that one block or two, we were quite the sight--two kids on each of our bikes, she had another duckling following her on his own bike, and 'Nama took the tail end on her Bike Friday. I'm am already looking forward to planning Kidical Mass and other local rides with Kate and work together to bring family biking to Sacramento in a fun and safe way. 

For other family resources, check out my Contact Us page. I can't possibly list them all but here are some awesome family biking blogs that you should also check out. If you know of someone I missed, drop me a line and I'll add them to my contacts. You can never have too many rad biking buddies (even if they are virtual biking buddies).

Oh, I am envious of your spontaneous Kidical Mass! That is fantastic! If you want to keep riding, check out the Endomundo team Schwankytown and Family Ride are running starting May 1st. I'm not sure I have it in me, but no problem for you, I suspect.
