First ride

Our test drive with the new Burley was not exactly the most relaxing of rides. There were defintitely a few kinks to work out--the straps took some adjusting, as did Franny's helmet. Unfortunately, it took most of our trip out to everything situated just right. Poor Franny was a trooper, but was definitely uncomfortable. Although we did have her helmet fitted for her prior to the trip, after much fussing it was quite apparent that the smaller size would have been better. Hopefully, our next trip out will be more pleasant for everyone!



But it was still a great day, as the bike ride was only a small part. We saw some very pretty views along the Willamette River, and the sun came out just in time for our picnic. Franny enjoyed practicing her walking skills in the grassy area, and did pretty well, considering the uneven terrain. She did, however, take some time to do some resting as well.

I was afraid some things might come up on the first outing (as we quickly learned on our own first ride). Sounds like it was better than our first trip and with all the kinks worked out, it'll be smooth sailing next time!
