Riding the “Lowlands” of Galbraith is not something I routinely do, but Saturday’s ride on trails like Hopscotch, Bunny Trail, Art’s Trail, Mole Trap, Dog Patch had a purpose beyond just exercise and pedaling fun. It’s purpose was to take a swing at breaking my teen son out of the teen funk he’s been in lately. If you’re a parent…Continue Reading
