How to Bike Only Downhill

With Cruise getting a new bike, Dave suggested we head up Provo canyon and bike down. We stopped by Cubbies on our way and had lunch, then headed for the mouth of the canyon. We took two cars: Dave met us at the mouth, parked his car, and we all drove up to Vivian Park in the van where we unloaded the bikes and the kids (and yes, they all fit inside...no roof riders...not even Jett). 
We drove down the trail, most of which is downhill. Poor Jett has a one-speed bike with pedal breaks, so that kid was getting tired. We stopped every now and then and had a water break, and then kept going. We had to keep catching up to Cruise; he was flying with his new bike! The weather wasn't too bad, I don't think it got above 85 degrees. My favorite parts of the trail are when the trees hangover on both sides and create sort of a tunnel along the path. It's always so pretty no matter what time of year it is.

We finally made it back to Dave's car, chained up all the bikes, got into the car, drove back up the canyon to get the van, drove back down with both cars where we loaded the bikes back into the van. 

And that is how you bike only downhill.

Well, we'll just have to make sure Jett gets a bike that will keep up with Cruise!
