Yesterday Tyler and I felt the need for an adventure. It was about noon when we decided to go and see the Oceans 13 movie at the theatre in the Riverwoods shopping area. Unfortunately the movie started at 12:30 and so we grabbed a backpack, threw some old granola bars in it and rode like crazy. It only took us 20 minutes to get there but we were sure hot and sweaty when we arrived. After the movie (which was really good, the best of them all) we rode our bikes up the river trial to Vivian Park (the end, or beginning, of the river trail). This only took an hour, which is surprising because of how slow we, I, was going. We stopped at the park for awhile and then rode straight home. All in all it was an 18 mile trip, (easy to figure out because of the signs posted every mile along the path) and we were exhausted at the end of it. Most likely because we only ate a waffle each for lunch/breakfast. After the ride Tyler made dinner and then we went out with Cavan to watch a movie after Tyler beat me once again at domino's.
So far our bikes have been the greatest summer investment, and once gas hits 4 bucks a gallon, I'm sure we will even be riding our bikes to the grocery store.

That sounds like quite the adventure. We have been talking about wanting to take that trail up the canyon for a while...one of these days I should actually do it!
