I do like to ride my mountain bike. I’m not into daft downhill stuff anymore, no thank you. Just a wee bit of muddy gravel and the sounds of my son and daughters bikes rumbling off into the distance is fine by me.

He learned to ride his bike without his stabilisers a few years ago and as promised he got his ‘big boy bike’. I thought it was only fair to get one for me too, as I was getting a little bigger too…
