A Big Adventure
Mike has just gone out for his first long bike ride.
His dad used to do long rides between two small townships when he was about 10 years old and we have been hoping to encourage the same sort of independence in our eldest. It has taken some time but today he decided that he wanted to ride from home to the local BMX track on the other side of town. The journey was just over 8 km and the weather has been a bit grey and wet at times.
And he did it. Dropped into his dad's work on the way dripping wet but extremely happy with himself. I am so proud of him. I will be collecting him with a change of clothes in the car and some nice hot chocolate chip muffins. He deserves them.
Yay to my growing young man. I am very proud of him for not wimping out on the hills or due to rain.
Best wishes
