On Friday the family were hiring bikes and cycling part of the Tarka Trail. I was going to walk with Haggis and meet them at the pub. I have never been any good on two wheels and haven’t ridden a bike since I was a teen.
Just as we were arriving at the Bike Hire, I wondered out loud if they hired out tricycles – tah dah!
I was a bit slow and tentative to begin with, but soon got the hang of it. It gave the whole family a laugh when photos were sent around on WhatsApp.
At one point I went peddling off at speed to get to the pub to meet the boys who had gone on ahead – I missed the pub and zoomed on past it – my son had to come and retrieve me. We all had a good laugh at that 🙂
My detour increased my total mileage to about 8 and yes, I did feel the burn – Had to get off a push for a while near the end – but I made it!
We also stopped at the Waterside Cafe, with a great view of the river and some house boats – so I am joining in with Cathy’s ‘House and Boat’ Photo Challenge this month.Â
I am home now – the journey back was much easier I’m happy to say.
