Family Ride w/ Solo Assault on Firetower Hill

I was supposed to work today but when given the option to take off I didn't hesitate to head out the door. An absolutely awesome day and we decided to venture out with the bikes. Took Sam over to the forestry so he could get more accustomed to the new bike.

After the first lap Sam challenged me by saying he didn't think I could climb Firetower Hill, so obliged :)

I wasn't sure I could climb it this early in the season but I guess the pride factor took over as he and Marcy were riding in the car behind me the whole way. Just a lil cheerleading is all it took to get me up over the top! :)
