You can manage to exercise and have kids but you just need to plan a little and be flexible (take each day as it comes). I did not cycle when my children were super little but I did swim. The pool near our house opened at five so I would get up and be at the pool when it opened and swim for an hour. This way I was back before my husband left for work.

I love being a Mum but before I had kids you would not have said I was a kid person. People I knew were shocked when I said I was pregnant they told me hey I didnt even know you liked kids, but here I am three kids later and loving it. You learn to be adaptable and if you get to ride thats great and if somedays you cant well you learn not to knock yourself up about it.
I have been cursed and blessed in the husband department. Cursed because he goes away a lot and that makes getting out for a ride even harder and blessed because when he is here he volunteers to look after the boys so I can go to rides that are not always close to home.

Children change your life that is sure but for me it was a change to a fuller richer and sometimes a tad crazier life.
