I admit there is a FREE local resource that I have been meaning to try out, but haven’t gotten around to.

Inexcusable, I know.

But now that the kids are more capable on their bikes and able to handle more than just a few blocks without a break, it’s time for the Pinellas Trail.

It’s a 34-miles greenway, but I think we will start small with checking out just 5 miles or so.

I am particularly excited to see that there are several bike rental shops along the way. To have to load all of our bikes and helmets for the trip would be a deal breaker.

Instead, we’ll throw our Rollerblades in the trunk (alot easier) for when we need a break from the bikes.

A picnic lunch and some extra water and you have the perfect fall afternoon.
