Ken and Jeff and I did a bike ride this morning on the D & RGW Rail Trail in Layton. The original rail line was the Denver and Rio Grande Western, which linked Denver with Salt Lake City, running "Through the Rockies, not around them." The trail is relatively new, and the surface is smooth. The part we rode runs through farm fields rapidly being converted to suburban developments. Jeff was riding a Trek mountain bike that he's had for years and used to enjoy riding on outings with his dad. Our bikes on the other hand are still practically brand new.
Sabrina had hoped to borrow a bike to join us on this ride, but none was available, so she stayed home to study and work on her class work. We missed her and got to talking about whether she might want a bike of her own. Jeff said that she actually did. Sabrina's birthday is Tuesday, so we all decided to give her a joint birthday present of a new bike. Jeff thought he knew one that she had admired. The present turned out to be a great success--Sabrina loves the bike and is looking forward to riding with us on our next outing.
