Bike Training in Sealy and Houston

This weekend, Sean, Stephen, and I headed down to Houston for me to be able to do some training rides for the MS150 coming up.  We went on one 50 mile ride on Saturday and one 30 mile ride on Sunday.  It went really well, but the last 12-14 miles of the 50 mile ride was hard since it was head winds and through hills, but that's good practice :)  We saw a lot of cows and really pretty farm land scenery on the 50 mile ride.  We did an "easy" 30 mile ride on Sunday morning in the park near the Bayou that runs basically from Summer and Jon's house all the way to Katy, where Sean's parent's live.  I took my point and shoot camera with me both days to get some shots.  Stephen had a lot of fun with the rest of the family and Sean who took care of him both days.  Sean got some golf in, we got a couple of good Catan Settler's games in, and had a good weekend.
