Every time E and I go on a bike ride, he’s always asking the same question: “When can we go on a family bike ride?”

Today, we got our chance. We took the girls on the same ride we completed yesterday, with E in the lead again.

“Okay, girls, here’s a really tricky part coming up,” he would announce from time to time.

We did 10.31 km in just over an hour, with an average speed of approximately 8.7 kph.

There were times when L showed a resilience that impressed me. We did a fair amount of trail riding, including a couple of relatively steep climbs. The Boy had to get off and push; once, K did so, too; the Girl soldiered on with me.
