Getting to where the sidewalk ends

Resistance training

I found a great paved trail just a five minute drive from my house. Its about 4 miles of nice wide paved trails with another long section of curvy sidewalks through a neighborhood that is attached. The weather has turned great and it makes for a wonderful ride, even when towing a wagon full of a 5 year old and her toys. Toy wagons don't roll as well as a nice low slung trike. Cant wait to get out here and go nuts by myself. There are several hills that I know I could get going full speed down.

Edit: I did come back a couple days later and went the other way, even went down a short dirt trail that looked like a lot of two-wheelers use. The trike worked great even off road, but I think its time for a tune up, it felt and sounded like the brakes might dragging a bit. I haven't seen either end of where I can ride on this trail, both ends connect to another place to ride. One looks like it might come pretty close to my house. With some winding through a few neighborhoods and an off road short-cut or two I might be able to plan a route out that dodged most traffic. It would be great if I could roll out of the garage and be able to get in a long ride without getting the car involved.
