THE TREK FAMILY
I received this email from last week from a couple of friends that I have known for a few years. Their passion for Trek and biking as a family is very impressive. Enjoy!
Hey Susan,
Hey Susan,Steph and I have been reading your blogs (very cool, BTW) and wanted to share that we are also a Trek family.
I've been mountain biking since the late 80's and have ridden a
Trek exclusively for the last 15+ years. I have even been a willing
guinea pig for the Y-Glide (one of the early
experiments for Trek with "technology" in full suspension mountain
biking). And even through that, I have always stayed faithful to the brand.
Not only do we all ride Treks, but Julia has her own Trek Trailer known
as the "Queens Seat".
It's been a few years since we did a total upgrade of the fleet and I was just telling Steph how she should give the WSD a try. It's great to see what Trek is doing to keep up with the needs of their customers while retaining the awesome quality to price ratio they are known for.

I wanted to pass along one of the MOST fun traditions we have as a
family. Every year for the last 15 years we have taken a summer
vacation to Bar Harbor, Maine. In the early years, Steph and I did
equal parts hiking and biking, but as the kids came along (the last 7
years) we transitioned to mostly all biking.
Jacob has literally grown up biking the carriage roads of Acadia National Park and is quite a strong hill climber for doing so! There is one particular ride we do every year which is about 70% uphill and climbs over 3000 feet within just a couple miles. He has ridden it without dismounting since he was 5 years old on his 12" Trek "Jet" bike. He's now on a 16" MT60 with 7 speeds and is really rockin' it.
At the age of 4 Julia is still enjoying her throne, but can brag that she is still wearing her princess helmet we first purchased for her at Bar Harbor Bike Shop when she was only 2 years old. Mt Desert Island and Acadia Park are world renown for biking and sightseeing and we just wanted to share a few pics of how we enjoy our trips there with our Trek Bikes!

They are indeed a Trek family and this past weekend on our camping trip, Lilly experienced a ride in the Queens seat and loved it! It was nice of Julia to share her throne! And, after riding Jake's bike, Luke said "Mom, can I get a bike like that...it shifts!"
