Pedal power

I have been out on the bike a fair bit lately, as you can probably see from previous posts. Its so good being able to get out and see things around Canberra that you just dont see in a car. The bike paths around the ACT are great and offer a huge selection of areas to go.

I ventured out with the little ones in the trailer the other day. Oh how I wish they made adult size trailers! We went into Belconnen shops, which is about a 30km round trip. Its was a magic day, still and sunny, perfect for a ride. Lots of people out exercising, everyone seeming to be in high spirits, saying hi as you pass them and they pass you. Its funny how when you are in the outdoors people seem to become ultra friendly, while at the shops everyone is on a mission and in a zone of consumer rage.

The boys seem to love it although this trip was probably bordering on too far for them. They got very cranky with each other on the way back, as it was close to nap time and they were both exhausted. Their little helmet heads kept flopping into each others as they tried desparately to stay awake. By the time I got them home it was well after mid day and quite warm. They were both sweaty and grumpy so it was straight to bed!
