Mission Loop

We’re still not very imaginative, but need to get miles in. So we went with a classic ride, the Mission loop.

We’ve done this ride a bunch, so there’s not a ton to say. We stopped for a snack at the Mission San Jose playground, as usual. We let the kids run around on the playground. Ruth made a friend, but we had to tear them apart to continue the ride.

Ruth was feeling helpful and pedaled for the short climbing sections. Everybody made appropriately excited noises for the big downhill. Max yelled a very cute “we’re going fast, Daddy!”

Then we crossed some highways and began heading back home. The wind can make the return less pleasant, but it stayed pretty calm today.

Although it isn’t the most exciting of routes, I had a nice ride.
