My how this year has flown by! It has been brought to my attention, more than once, that Courtney will soon be five and this has not been written!

What changes everyone has experienced this past year. Courtney has accomplished no less than three 100K (Metric Century) rides on the triplet with our "go fast" stoker Julie pushing us along. She is truly motivated by the speed and encouragement of other riders and loves to pass other folks but then everyone else on the triplet does as well!

Rides continue to be centered around those that attract good attendance which is a great motivator for all concerned. And we have seen less "fussing" from the little seat when lulls are experienced as she is now a "big" girl, just ask her!

M&M's go a long ways when she hits a lull... and I hate to admit it but the bit of chocolate and sugar will have her literally dancing in the gazebo within minutes! ...what a life saver as it saves calling mom to pick her up! A bit of bribery is also a good thing at times.
