Biking with the kids

Met up with Tim and Harry, Scott, Penny and there two girls Charlie and Tully.  The plan for the day was to take the kids on proper mtb trails for the first time.  We knew of a great green trail that had a slight downhill incline for them.  It had rained over night so there was the all important muddy puddles for the kids.

Both Tim and I thought it best we went on foot to walk next to the kids and help them out.  Big mistake, by the end of it we were both having to run near on full chat to try and keep up with the respective kids.  At one point I could not keep up with Ellis,  fearful she would stack it i shouted out for her to slow down, her reply….. “WHY?!?!?!?” as she pedalled on!

When they got to the bottom, we loaded the kids and the bikes into the back of the ute and drove them back up to the top to do it all over again.  They rode it twice and then back tot the cars.  Keen to end on a high and before the kids got too tired and hurt themselves.

All parents ended up with full on parent stoke to see the kids progress and love being outside riding bikes.  It is only going to get better as they get older and more confident.  Love it!
