Today Audrey and I rode the Hub on Wheels event in Boston.
For those of you who don't know, one nickname for Boston is "The Hub of the Universe", or "The Hub" for short.
The event has 10, 30 and 50 mile routes. This was Audrey's first bike ride of more than a mile or two so we chose the 10 mile route.
For the ride, they shut down Storrow Drive, which is the parkway (treated like a freeway by drivers) along the Boston side of the Charles River. It's novel and fun to have a main road closed to traffic for bikes!
Audrey did great and enjoyed the ride. Although she is outgrowing her bike.
She was sad when we turned off at the place where the 10-mile split from the longer routes. Most people went the other way and she liked riding in the crowd.
Next year we'll get her a larger bike and tackle the 30-mile route. Charlotte will meet the 10-year-old minimum next year, too. Perhaps she'll ride the 10-mile with Carol and Audrey and I will ride the 30.
Oh, there's also a video.
