Ride to Trinity Park

I needed to let some steam off from all the final days at work stress, so all 3 of us went for a ride this evening. We rode from home to Trinity Park, stopping off at the Montessori school playground 2 blocks away, too.

I didn't take any pictures, but Rob did, so I'll have to get him to share the pics with me later. It was a nice ride in through east Durham. We didn't take Holloway into downtown like we normally would do to get to this area of Durham, instead we took Miami to Geer to Trinity. There's less stoplights and more chance to just keep pedaling this way. Eliza seemed more secure in the ride tonight. I think she was just excited to go play at one of her favorite Durham parks. We've been to Trinity Park many times before. We stopped first at the Montessori school playground and she had a lot of fun playing with 2 local kids, and Rob and I enjoyed talking with their Dad, who was super nice. Then we went to Trinity Park and played until dark. Then we turned on our lights and flashing blinkies and headed home.

We did our ride there and our ride back as 2 separate rides on Strava. I know I should've just put the ride on pause while we played at the park, but oh well, it doesn't really matter in the long run. Here's our Strava summaries:

We took a slightly longer route home, just for old times sake, I guess. We figured that we're not going to be in North Carolina for much longer, so we might as well ride some of our favorite urban streets (East Main Street and North Driver Street, specifically).

Only 3 more days of work left for me and we'll be ready to roll on this moving across country thing!
