Today I am as proud as can be. Took my boys for their first offroad “adventure”

Pausing after the first “climb”

Then a quick breather after A “seat of the pants” decent. No laughing at the £10 bike please!

Sitting and letting the world go by after lunch at a pub before heading home.

Does it get any better than this?

Look like a loverly day out 🙂

Cool, nice one. They’ll (and you will) remember days like that.

You are very lucky to have such great scenery, looks like a perfect day. Did they enjoy it?

Are they better then you yet?

They loved every minute of it!

@ realman: Wont be long till they are! Was teaching the older one to bunnyhop on Friday night! Not getting off the ground but the timing and strength will come and them im doomed!

😀

I kinda know how you feel….This was the first time my 2 eldest ones went up Whinlatter Blue in 09…..

And mincing some steps…. 😉

😛

EDIT and yes i realise i`ve just posted them the wrong way round…. 🙄

Ace 😀 looks great, my son is 9 and he’s done 3-4 races, i’m taking him to race the Midlands xc at Cannock tomorrow, i’ll be there shouting like a crazy competitive Dad 😐

that’s great. you are very lucky.

5 and 8 they are. Have promised to take the older one on a “blue” sometime soon. Can’t wait!

Mine were 8 n 6 when those shoys were taken…..

is such a great feelinbg riding with your kids! my oldest is 4 1/2 and comes out on the tag along quite a bit (school run daily), i love it, her chattering away behind me!
were off to do the coast to coast today, although down here its only 11 miles between the two and is pretty much flat, is still a nice lil ride through the mining heritage!

she was brave enough and confident enough to ride her 20″ wheel bike to school during the week, (the big pedal at the mo and her schools doing really well!) she’s just getting into the size where its ridable without being a bit too big, she did so well, very proud moment for me!!

OP, Cant help thinking your eldest looks like King Canute in the last pic… 🙂

Where do you live, because it looks ace…

We had a day at the beach yesterday, boys loved it. Playing in the sand etc. Rounded off the day with hot dogs cooked on the camp stove before getting boys into pj’s for the journey home.
I hate living in the Middlelands. 🙁

Takisawa. North Northumberland is the location. The beach photos is about ten mins walk away. Bloody cold in the winter when the wind is from the East though.

Route was from a place called Boulmer to one called Craster.
