Family ride

No rides last week (boo!) due to work and family commitments. However I did manage a family ride on Saturday, which is always fun.

We did just over 8 miles, with a refreshment stop at a pub for the kids at the half way point. The short distance did not matter. It is fun to be out as a family on the bikes, in the fresh air. The extra weight of a small person on the back adds a (slight) training element to the ride too!

Clare and I both have a Co-Pilot Limo Child Seat on the back of our bikes. They come with a Blackburn rack and clip off, so I can take the bike seat off for a non-child ride and not be left with an odd bracket hanging off the back!

These are great seats and certainly worth the initial investment.

You can see our route over on GPSies.
