For the past year and a half Duncan has fallen in love with mountain biking to such a degree that I must admit I have felt a small amount of jealousy for his love, passion and overall fitness. Duncan has tried on numerous occasions to get me on a bicycle with little success mainly due to my lack of confidence.

I think a combination of wanting to find some form of exercise, that brought joy, as well as doing something with Duncan, inspired me to climb on a bike. It’s been about a month now and I can say I definitely ride less confidently than my 3 year old but it’s good fun and something we can do together as a family.

All we need now is a bicycle rack that can take all 5 bicycles and we are set for some fun.

Today we went to the bike track down the road and Adam got to ride his big bike there for the first time. He amazes me with his abilities and inspired me to go over obstacles, I hadn’t yet braved.
