Another update for my trailer threaddd's nursery has moved to new premises which are less than a mile away, so I am resolved to ride to nursery much more often. The route is easier, on the whole, though it does go through an industrial estate with quite a few lorries and there's an uphill stretch which is hard on early morning thighs when towing close to 60lbs... And there's a roundabout (we cross the rush hour traffic) which I was dreading, but actually isn't too bad as the visibility is much better from a bike than from the car. It's riding on the road all the way, which is much easier with the trailer than having to get on and off multi-user paths.
Anyway, today dh towed her to nursery and I did the pickup by bike too. She does 8 trips there or back in total over 4 sessions and my target is to do at least 2 or 3 of them by bike each week. It doesn't sound much, but it's a lot more than I was managing at the other nursery, which took over twice as long to get to.
