The trees, the trees

We seem to have gone bike crazy of late. We got hold of one of those bike seats that you attach to your crossbar for Olive last week. Tried it out on Friday and got to school the earliest we've ever been there... and on Saturday morning I was out on my bike for a rip across fields which I've not done in months and months.

Anyway, we went to High Lodge in Thetford Forest Park today. Lots to do there, we've been once before, don't know why we've only been once because it's just the best way to spend a Sunday morning. Our favourite thing to do is hire bikes and some bits and bobs that mean you don't have to leave the children locked in the car and off you go.

There's four routes of which we take the family-friendly green route. Much as we'd like the white knuckle 10 mile ride of the black route, don't think a bike trailor with the kids strapped in would cope. So green it is.

Today, Olive insisted on having the bike thingy that attaches to back of my bike. Which was great mainly because I wasn't the only one pedaling. She went all the way round no problem, not a word of complaint which is pretty impressive.

Next time we're doing the blue route - we would have done it today, but Caryn was chicken. Cluck cluck cluck.
