I've converted them!

Definitely.....possibly.....maybe not. I really thought I converted Boscoe and Prince Charming from riding dirtbikes to regular bicycles. I've tried to convert them and they have tried to convert me - very scary story that will be told later. Boscoe's birthday is coming up soon and he's had a variety of used bikes (garage sales, Goodwill, etc.), and Prince Charming and I wanted to get him a nice bike for his birthday. We went to Hodsons Bay in Lafayette last weekend and purchased the perfect bike for Boscoe - a Trek 820 in blue, his favorite color. Prince Charming and I have been pleasantly surprised at how much he's been riding it this week. I asked Boscoe what he thought about his bike and he said, "it's cool". Ok, maybe I was expecting too much from a teenager but I think I get the idea by watching him. Now for the big guy...Prince Charming has been talking about getting a bike, but that proved to be a bit more difficult. For those of you that haven't met my husband, he's 6'9" and most things do not come Prince Charming-sized. He tried to buy a bike at Hodsons Bay, but ended up going to Bicycle Garage Indy and purchased a Trek 7.2. So it's 9 PM on Monday and we're going out for a bike ride......ahhhhhh, it was lovely. We went riding Tuesday night and also tonight and I think this is going to be a good thing (can you say Martha Stewart?). I'm a little embarrassed to say that I had a hard time keeping up with Prince Charming but not for long because more training sessions are coming my way. Here's a picture of the boys on their bikes tonight.
