We first hit a dirt road dodging puddles (It's amazing to think there was actual fighting going on in these fields!), and passing many horseback riders along the way, only to come upon a short cobblestone road leading past a church and small private school. I tried to take a picture to show how uneven the road is, but you can't really get the true feel for the cobblestones until you're bouncing off your bike seat.
Then we come to another muddy area deep enough that this time my whole right shoe dipped into the mirky water. Pretty surprising! K even acted like I was completely crazy to let my whole foot go under the water, but who would've thought it would be that deep just a little to the right of his straight path? I mean, come on, I was balancing the camera in one hand and trying to avoid getting stuck in the mud at the same time.
Then we come upon another cobblestone road wide enough for only one lane of traffic. It's wonderful to hear the silly laughter from our kids as we go over those bumps and the uneven cobblestone.
Do you see the dirt pits along the curbs? That's where we end up riding when a car comes and I feel like a BMX biker about ready to lose control. We also came home by car on this route one time only to have our car hit bottom on some of the cobblestones in another uneven area.
We finally make it to the picturesque area where if you look closely, you can see people climbing the many steps to the top by the lion.
After the fun ride the trailer needs a spray of the hose!
