Mum1 dusted the cobwebs of her bike this morning for a spin through the countryside. It has been previously noted that about half way through every pre-agreed route she attempts, usually successfully, to make some kind of change and today, unsurprisingly, instead of repeating the circuit as instructed she tried to return via a different and possibly shorter way but I was prepared and shouted at her and for the first time ever she gave in. At the end of the ride we went looking for Mum5 and found her lurking suspiciously in her bike shop. Now that Mum3 has spent some money on new and essential equipment we think that we might need stuff too. We just don’t know quite what. Mum6, our newest rider, reports that she has been getting out and about on her bike and enjoying it. She is getting more confident at getting on and off-- thankfully as that can be quite a key part of cycling. She has fixed an old basket to the front for her little dog to ride in; the perfect accessory.
Mum 4 has been beside herself with the excitement and annoyance during the last few stages of the Tour de France. She went off on an absolute rant when Johnny Hoogeland from her favourite team Vacansoleil-DCM was injured in a crash after a Team Sky rider was hit by a car and only calmed down when I was able to change to the interesting topic of whether she thought Thomas Voeckler looks better in his green Europcar team jersey or in the yellow jersey? Green. And how feminine is it to change the colour of your bike to match the colour of your jersey? Very.
Feminine style
