Family Ride

The spiders had started to build their lovely homes on the kids' bikes. Then, Zaky decided to be a home whacker and declared that we should go cycling. Lil Shauna didnt share his enthusiam but didnt want to be left out. Poor Daddy Lim had to pour sweat and pump the tires the night before. In sitauations like that, it is a blessing to be ignorant, leaving men to do men stuff. It is Ok, I dont need to fight for gender equality; I was very happy being 小女人 and watch youtubes at home.

My alarm clock was set for 6am bcos my weighing scale says that the family ride is probably so leisure that it wouldnt feel like a workout and I should hit the gym before that. I came home to a fully dressed and very ready boy; Lil Shauna was barely out of bed.

The kids were coaxed to take a bite before the ride bcos hungry kids = whiny kids. Lil Shauna was still half awake and Zaky was too excited. I ended up eating the most before we started the ride. Zzzzz.

The plan was for Lil Shauna to use my trusty Giant MTB. We adjusted the saddle height to the lowest and I checked that the height is about the same as her smaller MTB. We would ride and probably had MacD for bfast.

The start of the ride was a little rusty. The kids, particularly Lil Shauna needed to warm up to their bikes. It didnt take long especially when my old MTB is such a comfy ride.

We hit the PCN and go through the Jurong Park.  Lil Shauna's hope was raised when we approched the MacD in Jurong Park. Hello, we barely started the ride, not this MacD, the one at Tradehub!

It was the usual PCN route. The ride somewhat feels easier now that the kids are older and stronger. No joke! Zaky's feet can now touched the ground more steadily when he is on the bike.

We rode on the PCN all the way to the spiral bridge and along the canal where the otters were usually spotted. Zaky didnt complete that PCN the last round bcos he was too tired and hungry. See, I told you that the kids are stronger now. Afterall, we have a figure skater and a Jnr Back Belt.

I would love to go further, possibly to Buona Vista MRT only for kids to whine that they were so hungry and that we had to turn back for bfast. We did just that, it was meant to be leisure anyway. I didnt want to fight with hungry small people. The big people were hungry too. Haha.

The hungry people chomped down the bfast so quickly that I only rememebered pictures when all the food were gone.

Back to our beautiful bikes for home.

In all, we clocked about 22km. This is the longest distance with the kids so far! Seriously, they were not really tired probably just bored. Lol. Yay! More long rides in the future!

Oh, Lil Shauna totally enjoyed my Giant MTB. She said that the bike is easier to peddle, the gears are easier to switch and it is easier to control. Hehehe.
