Craig's Big Bike Ride

The weekend began on Friday afternoon with Graham finding some playmates both new and old in the park downstairs.

On Saturday there was a barbecue lunch near Dee Why beach where no photos were taken. After getting back home Craig wanted to go for a ride on his bicycle. So, he and Dad set off toward Narrabeen Lagoon. The lagoon has a trail all the way around. There's a map here.

This is the promotional video made by the local council about the trail. Lots of aerial footage but it gives you a good idea of the terrain and scenery.


Craig took a break at Middle Creek Reserve.

And, he had some fun climbing at Bilarong Reserve.

Including the two stops to play and another one just to have a drink, the ride took almost 2 1/2 hours. The distance covered would be close to 15 kms. Craig didn't have any trouble and was still full of energy when he finished.

On Sunday, the only place they went was downstairs to play in the park. Craig hit a few balls.

 And, he helped Graham swing.

 Having a brother to play with is a big plus, especially on a Sunday afternoon when there's nothing much going on.
