We warmed up with a loop through the neighborhood trail
across the street from the park. This shaded
trail wound between the houses and the creek, followed by a long but gradual
hill climb back up to Wells Road.
After trading riding tips and checking out each other’s Trikkes
in the parking lot, we began the longer ride through the park, through a
neighborhood, past an elementary school, and out to an office park where we
completed two long laps. The group
exercised great restraint at not jumping into the fountain to cool off after
our photo session!

From there we rode a short trail into a cul-de-sac of a
quiet residential street. This road was
a veritable Trikke rollercoaster! Some
of us made it back up some of the hills, but all of us had to walk at least
some point. I believe we could’ve done
more had it been a cooler day, but by this point fatigue was setting in.
Our return to the park looped us around its small pond, and
past the Kid’s Castle which was closed for renovation. All of us grown-up kids on our big 3-wheelers
are eagerly awaiting the reopening of the castle as an excuse to return. I can’t say how much Trikking will occur, as
we’ll likely be busy climbing the castles spires!
Two new riders joined us in Doylestown: Dave for his first
ride, and Susan for her second. Susan has
been so enthused about riding her new Trikke that she is looking to set up some
rides in southern and northern Delaware.
So look for this group to continue to grow and feature new rides in new
locations.
