No Trail

One of the reasons for the new bike with gears and suspension is for Daddy Lim to bring Zaky for trail. I am not a fan of trail. After last Wednesday familiarisation ride at the park, they were all ready to hit the trail on Saturday morning. Daddy Lim was busy preparing the camel bag, extra clothing, snacks and it started pouring...

Well, a rainy night doesn't mean that it would still be rainy the next morning but it probably mean muddy trail and tracks. Daddy Lim started having 2nd thoughts and adopted a wait and see approach. Zaky wasn't very keen about rolling in the mud; I was worried about slippery tracks.

Come Saturday morning, the rain had indeed stopped but it probably rained late into the night bcos the pavements were wet. I can imagine how muddy and slippery the trails would be. We decided to do a PCN ride instead and I joined the boys.

I had thought that with a new bike, Zaky could now go as fast as us. I was so wrong; his wheels are afterall so much smaller than ours still and he is still a child. Moreover, he talks so much; way too much!

We had much slower than usual so that Zaky can catch up and we took more breaks in between. The chocolate snacks that we brought along was disappearing very quickly.

We went further than what we usually would with the kids. Zaky was lured to go further at the prospect of spotting the otter at the big canal. We did not other spot the otter, but also a huge monitor lizard and even a tortoise. However, those excitement disappeared very quickly and he was soon very tired and grumpy and hungry. He was so upset that we made him cycled so far bcos the only way to go home was the way that we came. The only comfort was the Mac stop that we would be making at Tradehub 21 for bfast.

After a leisure ride for us but a hard ride for the boy, we finally made it to the Mac to recharge. With the heavy bfast and that huge bar of chocolate, I think the boy consumed more than he burnt.

It was running late bcos we went so slowly and I went off 1st leaving the boys behind to bring Lil Shauna for her ice skating. I had my workout on the return trip and Zaky had his fun. Zaky came home all sweaty when we were leaving the house and he said that Pappy brought him on rocky paths and to do steps.

It sounded like they had more fun without me. Lol.

Although no trail but we had a good ride.
