We drove to Freeport for the Holiday morning and did a bike ride on the Jane Addams Trail. It was overcast and warm, but the trail which runs north from Freeport to the Wisconsin border was shaded, so it was a comfortable ride.
We went about seven miles to McConnell Road. Jodi’s cruiser bike just doesn’t seem to have a gear that allows her to keep pace without working twice as hard.
A few years ago, we had been adventuresome and did the thirteen-mile ride to the border, but neither of us had a twenty-six-mile roundtrip in us. It was getting warmer, and we had baled the pasture the night before leaving me at least a little sore and slow moving. I do want to do that ride at least one more time before I get too old.
We rewarded ourselves by splitting an order of chicken tenders and loaded fries at Beef-A-Roo, and followed that with ice cream at Union Dairy.
I suppose it doesn’t get any more summertime than July 4th, and we made the most of it. Capping it with a trip to the movie theatre to see the new Jurassic World film.
By the way, while this song has a fun sound, it certainly has a couple lines that a little sketchy.
