Bluebell Woods : Silent Sunday

Bluebell Woods

I made all of my children cycle 18 miles around the rather beautiful Rutland Water this week. Betty managed to moan the whole way. I can forgive her because it was the first time she has done it under her own steam. It took us over three hours:( In our fitness peak (with Biba 6 and Sonny 7  we could get around in under two hours... we have work to be done but this is just the beginning).
I'm really proud of Betty (despite the moaning!) It is a long way and once we can sit comfortably we will be setting off again!

    I can't wait till my two are off the stabilisers - mean we can go somewhere other than up and down the road! I remember going on bike rides with my dad and younger sister - we'd get so far and then one of us would throw a fit...

    Well done for tolerating the moaning! I took my youngest out for a bike ride the other weekend and it actually wasn't TOO bad. She only had to stop for a little cry twice along the way :-)

    I miss bicycling with my kids. Listening and watching them complain during the ride, but when done, asking when we can go again. It is a wonderful way to spend time together.
