Set off this morning to ride 33 miles through south east Northumberland with my two youngest, Ben 6 and Katie 8 next week.
Ben was on the trail-a-bike and Katie on her own bike - a BSO I bought for her to learn on.
We rode the 2.4 miles to the start then off we went.
The first 8- miles or so went well then Katie was starting to struggle, which was more the psychological thought of riding 35 miles.
Regardless, she soldiered on, albeit slow at times and more stops than the
London tubes, but she rode it.
We finished with a ride time of 4:20 and averaged 8.2mph.
A fantastic effort and one I am very proud of.
