Today we felt like doing something a bit different. I knocked up a quick picnic, loaded the bikes on top of the car and set off for Gargrave in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
All I can say that it turned into something like an iron-man test of endurance despite the
online description "easy". The dales are not called dales for nothing.. up-down-up-down on loose stone tracks. The great thing was being off road for virtually all of the 10 mile route (well done Bigger boy!) . We used unmarked bridleways, canal towpaths and silent country lanes.
4 hours later.. just time for hot chocolate and toasted teacakes before bed. Both boys asleep within five minutes of their heads touching their pillows. :)
