Biking

The kids have been avid bikers the last couple of weeks.  We brought the bikes along to Yorkshire last weekend and Sage had a blast zooming through the campground.  The field where we pitched the tent was very soggy and had turned to mud, but that didn’t stop her from hopping on her bike as soon as she awoke.

Riding in the mud in a nightgown – gotta love it!

We drove through the Dalby Forest where we discovered Pace Bike Park run by the Forestry Commission.  They have a course with table tops, berms, rhythm bumps and corkscrew bridge.  It looked pretty intimidating at first, but after the first run River seemed quite confident and couldn’t keep the smile off her face as she raced through the track.

Here she is coming underneath the corkscrew bridge.

There was a nice observation point at the top to watch the riders.  Sage went through once as well, though she needed some help getting over the bigger bumps.  I’m sure she’ll be ready for it soon, though.

This video shows a trick that River has been working on.
