It is official I am unfit and suffering from a sore bottom after a 5 mile bike ride today! However, it is worth the saddle sore aches and pains in my posterior and legs, because we enjoyed a lovely family bike ride along the Tarka Trail to Fremington Quay. Despite some moaning on the way there from Burton about how far it was (I must admit it was further then I remembered but then when OH reminded me that it was only 2.6 miles each way, I felt a little silly as that is not very far at all!)
Anyway, we arrived and immediately the boys and I were ravenous and despite it only being 11.30am we three tucked into our picnic while OH hung on til 12pm (the official lunch time!). Some food and much needed drink were all the boys needed to re charge their batteries and off they went to play on the pirate ship adventure playground and have some “jump on and tickle Daddy time”!
The journey back seemed to go by much faster than the journey to Freminton Quay, and we only stopped once (unlike about 6 times before!), so I think the ice creams the boys ate before we set off helped that!
Despite how tired I am feeling and how much I ache, it is all good and we cannot wait to do it again very soon.
(ps. to all you monkey fans – he was there today but inside monkey rucksack!!)
I was recently sent some new soft drinks by Panda for a review. I remember drinking Panda Pops when I was young, but unlike the drinks we have been sent, they were unlikely to have had no added sugar! Nowadays Panda has been relaunched and they now contain natual flavours and no artifical colours or added sugar. These bottles are great for when you are out and about as the re-sealable (sports caps) lids means no leakages on bike rides!
You can find our more about Panda drinks by following them on twitter @Panda_Drinks or check out their facebook page
I often wonder why they have to make bike seats so bloody uncomfortable! I l;ove a good bike ride but the sore rear end is a big negative haha
Looks like a lovely day, those little bike tow bar things are great.
Also, I used to love panda pops!
A perfect day for a family bike ride, with the added bonus of some fun play time half way as well. I hope the soreness soon wears off! Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
that made me laugh about Jon waiting until the official lunchtime – Matt is the same, and he always says its lunchtime bang on 12!
Aww would want to do something like this but I dont know how to bike =P Looks like a fun day =) #countrykids
What a lovely bike ride. I like the attachment to clip the monkey bike on. I loved the Panda pops at Blogon. And lol there’s always one isn’t there (your oh waiting until 12 to eat).
