This afternoon the 11-year-old scouts had a biking activity. They rode 11.5 miles which should have only taken them an hour, but part of the requirement for the 10 miles ride was to stop and take compass readings to insure they were headed in the right direction. I find this requirement absolutely ridiculous, as no one carries a compass when they bike around town. Maybe if you were mountain biking, but even then, you are usually on a trail, not biking through the shrubbery. I knew I couldn't stand stopping every ten minutes, so I met them at the end with popsicles and let Kent do the biking.
They had a good time and everyone finished, even though it was hard for some of them and it was very hot. Brandt felt good about his efforts. I need to get him out with me riding more.
