First ride out today.

[Buck]

After buying our bikes around three weeks ago, today's weather meant we could get out on them as a family for the first time. The idea was to get used to the bikes and have a good time!


Bearing in mind neither me or my wife have been on a bike since we were teenagers ( and thats 25+ years ago!) and having two young boys, we hit the Trans-Pennine trail and ended up being out for a couple of hours with a few stops for my 7yo but both he and his 10yo brother did really well. Using The Strava apple logged just shy of 10 miles and I really enjoyed it.

Proud of the boys - they did really well - looking forward to many more rides.

That's really great, fantastic even
The boys did do really well. Well done to them and to great parents.
I love a success story.
I wish you many more great rides

Well done on getting out. I'm jealous, it's been a lovely day, but we are away from home this weekend so I couldn't get out as my bike is at home

thats a mile and half more than me

 

[Buck]

Thanks all.

As you say, really proud of the boys. They did so well and only got tired on the last half mile.

We didn't realise how far we'd gone but it felt good when we found out although my 7yo piped up "Dad!! We should have gone a little further so we'd have gone more than 10!!"

They got a gold star as well as a hot chocolate when we got home ! Mrs Buck did too!


Exam question: will I regret it tomorrow with leg and saddle interface aches !
