Boy Scout Bike Trip

A dozen scouts embarked on a ~30 mile trip (each way) this weekend.

Good thing he was required to bring along a spare inner tube.  Aiden was the first to get a flat.  In the parking lot, before they even departed!  I was impressed when he was able to replace the tube pretty much completely independently.  

The Scoutmaster carried all the boys' gear in his minivan.

And they're off!

 Overall, it was a successful trip.  Sadly, Aiden was involved in a crash on Sunday morning on the way home.  They only had a mile left in their journey when it happened.  Thankfully, no cars were involved - just a few bikes.  But he was kind of banged up, and ended up riding in the van with the Scoutmaster for the last mile.  Hopefully this doesn't scare him off of future bike trips.
