I bought a Trail-gator for attaching Jonathan's bike to mine, and we went on a couple 10 mile rides last week to test it out, and to build up our strength, but I had been pretty tired after those rides, so I wasn't very optimistic that we would make it to Ohiopyle without calling Heather to pick one or both of us up. But Billy had volunteered to trade off with me and so figured we had a better shot of completing the trip.
We spent Thursday night at the Lewis's house, so Heather wouldn't have to drive us down to McKeesport early in the morning. The end of the week came soon, and so we had a little trouble getting everything packed, but Heather got it all together while I tried to finish up my work for the week.
We planned to arrive at McKeesport at 8 and be off by 8:15 or so, but we were a little late, and I don't think we left until 9 or maybe even later. We biked for thirty miles before I got pretty tired, and Josh took over towing Jonathan for eight miles until lunch. I was surprised at how light his bike was (he was carrying his tent and all of the gear for him and his brother) and he was surprised at how heavy towing another bike was. (More)
