Put both kids on the back of the Xtra, packed a cooler on one side and swimsuit and towels on the other, everything else goes in the front panniers, and off we went on a tour of the town.
First stop was the zoo about 10 miles from my house. Then, swimming at a lake where we also had a picnic there. Next, we came back from the other side of town and went swimming at the local Ymca- biking can really heat you up! Finally, we headed home for supper.
We did almost 25 miles in all. None of it was very fast, but I hauled a good 100 pounds along with me all day- including kids, coolers, and other supplies.
