The boy decides to wake up screaming in the middle of the night this morning of all mornings didnt he He looks and sounds alot happier then I currently do
I wont be making it sounds like its just Dents to carry the flag. I'm keen to try for another day, but its going to be rather busy over the next month or so well not next weekend 12th
Yup, it can be tough with kids alright. We never even left Tauranga till 11 o'clock because of one little ratbag. Still he slept all the way there and woke up happy which was good. We decided to start over from Longmile Rd, to avoid the crowds, wow there must have been over 100 cars parked up around the big area there which I thought was odd, turns out there was some kids mtb event up around the grassy part od Radio Hut Rd, but was winding up not long after we arrived, so it thinned out. First time for Heidi on a bike at Vegas since the birth of Amy, 6 weeks and 2 days ago, and Amys first time in the trailer, so was sure to be interesting.
Amy fell asleep instantly and stayed that way for the next 2.5 hours so that was great.
I towed the trailer with Amy and all the baby things and our picnic lunch, as well as Blake on the top tube seat, on my old 14kg singlespeed. So, fair to say that the slog up to the Radio Hut Rd intersection was a slog of a warmup, still...bring on the SS champs, thats some resistance training right there let me tellya.
Heidi took a run down the Avenir trail while we went down the road and met up at the start of Dipper. Then we switched Blakes seat over onto Heidis bike, so she could take him around Dipper (which she was a bit nervous about). I towed the trailer around to Bakers Hollow and entered Dipper there, where we met up again and rode the rest of Dipper back to the start point.
Then we played swapsies, and I rode Heidis bike with Blake on back up to Radio Hut for a speedy run down Avenir (even got some air at one point ) Then we parked up on the grass for some lunch, yumm.
Then we loaded my bike up with all the kids and stuff again for a trip back to the car, Heidi detoured off to blast down Exit Jumps on the return. A bloody great family day out, hopefully next time we will have some more company.
Weather has been mint all day, I guess that front never made it up here huh?
