AP and I are off to the lake this week. We leave on Monday morning, although, he's already down there "getting things ready". Mostly, I think that means that he's wakeboarding with our friend Dr. K, before we have a boat full of people and he ends up driving them.
While I am totally pumped about being at the lake, I am even more excited about our new purchase. Two hybrid, beautiful, fun BIKES! I don't think that I've owned a bike since I was 10 and my greatest trick was riding down our driveway with my feet on the handlebars. While we were in Hilton Head earlier this year we rented bikes for the week and it was fantastic. I found myself at the beach wondering when we could get on bikes again to ride to the next destination. So, with the help of Dr.Jeff, AP has been doing crazy amounts of research, until he found just the right bikes for us. The friendly UPS guy delivered them to our office yesterday in two gigantic boxes, and AP immediately started the assembly process. So, today I went and got a helmet and next week we'll be riding our bikes around at the lake. Then, we can ride them to work every day.
If you are a closet biker, or you know of any good Cinci bike trails, let me know -- I can't wait to start riding! It'll take some time, but I bet I could still put my feet up on the handlebars and ride down the driveway.

Rachel, not sure what type of bikes you got so I will list both types of trails I know.
Mtn. Biking: Hueston Woods have the best trails around.
Paved Trails: Well I am sure you know about the loveland trails http://www.lovelandbiketrail.com/
But there are also trails at Miami White Water park that are great. and you could always stay close to home and ride down to Lunkin airport and around that trail.
Enjoy the bikes!
FUN! I need to get a real bike.... Your trip to work is going to be hilarious - like 20 seconds!
Rachael-
I have always enjoyed riding from Ted Berry Park through Bicentennial Commons and Sayer Point, then over the Purple People Bridge, around Newport Covington, then back to downtown.
Rachel, Keep your feet down on the pedals where they belong!!!!!
No feet on the handlebars!!!!
