First Trail Trip With My Son

I had originally decided to buy a scooter for commuting. After much thought, I decided to go dual sport so I could ride with Tucker. I've had it since April and after commuting every day I decided to take a trip up to the Uwharrie National Forest.

It's about an hour away from our house.

Here we are at 7am loaded up and ready to go.

We took the easiest trail (because of me) and Tucker. I let Tucker lead the way. Just tooted the horn when I needed him to stop. We rode for over an hour and it was going great. Beautiful weather. On the way back Tucker took the wrong turn we went down hill for almost a mile before we could turn around. It was the most trecherous hill I'd ever seen. We found out later we were on the most difficult trail. I dropped the bike a total of 8 times. Never dropped it before but I new it was inevitable. I bent the handle bars the broke the back left turn signal. This picture is of Tucker after we got back on track. Both of us needed to stop and take a break. Figured it was a good time for a photo.

After 2 hours of riding we are back at the truck. I was absolutely worn out. Not as young as I used to be.

This was a great day with Tucker with many more to come. I just grabbed a beer and it's time to lay on the couch. I didn't know a beer could taste soo good! Man I love America!
