Yesterday we tried out the new bike rack that goes from the rig to the truck. Kirby loaded up our bikes and we drove over to James Island County Park for a morning of exploring that gorgeous park.
We found the bike rack at Camping World and so far have no complaints about it. It is pretty cool that it can fit either the truck or the rig. Some of them get soldered on - and probably are more stable but this seemed to work just fine. So, with just one rack we can have it on the truck to go exploring and then we can have it on the rig to travel to a new destination.
The recent storm had moved on east and the skies were clearing. It was still pretty chilly out - not even 60 degrees F, but the sun was warm when we left the parking lot. James Island County Park has three loops for biking that all meet up so you can have lots of variety. We found some really awesome spots for quiet and private picnics that we would love to try. We saw marshes and tidal creeks and trees of all sorts. We passed the dog park where all the dogs were chasing and splashing in the pond. What we didn't see were crowds of people! I love that we got to go during the week as I wind down my working. (No Fridays!)
The only part that wasn't good was that Jake didn't get to go with us. When we walk, of course he joins us but not on a long bike ride. Kirby takes him on his bike here at the campground. I don't approve but he rides his bike and Jake runs along with him. They both love it and it helps keep Jake in good shape.
When we finished it was almost lunchtime so we headed over to one of our favorite spots on James Island, Smoky Oak Taproom, for a pulled pork sandwich and a cold brew. Life is good!
