South Boulder Creek run with Mia biking along

From Marshall Rd, South Boulder Creek trail to South Boulder Rd, east to the tunnel under South Boulder; returned the same.

Mia's been riding without training wheels for a few weeks now, and I've discovered that she now rides much faster. So, I've been thinking that maybe I could start doing runs with her biking along. While this trail is dirt, and Mia hadn't really ridden on dirt yet, I figured this might be OK since this trail is so smooth and the terrain so flat. I'm thinking that running our neighborhood with her biking would be difficult right now because of the hills, narrow sidewalks, intersections, etc.

This run/ride went very well for the most part and was a blast! Starting out, Mia probably could have pulled away as the trail seems slightly downhill, and I've got a bit of cold so started out slowly. I soon realized that there are lots of gravel sections on this trail that would be difficult for Mia with her smooth tires and limited bike handling experience. I guess it only took Mia getting almost sideways once but pulling out of it before crashing for me to realize this! Anyway, we had to focus on keeping Mia in the smooth tracks.

Things went really well all the way to the gate at South Boulder Rd. Here we got a drink and decided that Mia felt good enough to continue a couple more minutes to the tunnel under South Boulder. The tunnel held water as usual, so we turned back there. On the way back to the gate, Mia got caught in some gravel and crashed. I was right there and picked her up quickly, but the tears still flowed. No blood, though, and Mia quickly recovered, and we continued on. We stopped for a few minutes at the 36 bridge for a Rice Krispie treat. The rest of the way back went OK, but Mia's legs were getting tired, so I helped her along with some pushing a few times.

Overall, this run/ride went great and was an absolute thrill for me. I think Mia had a great time as well.
