    Talking My man has a new bike

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    A Specialized HardRock Sport Disc (same as mine but in different colours). It's his first new bike since his mum bought him a racer when he started work at 16 (nearly 30 years ago!) It was lovely to see him set off down the road on his bike, in his new shorts + baggies. He's all amazed by the wonders of a chamois and by how much fun the Spesh is. Our neighbours have offered to watch Small Girl for us so we might even be able to get out together!

    Oh this is the start of something even MORE beautiful than when it was just you and little girl! Yay for him! Imagine how much fun you'll have when she rides a tagalong bike and then her own two wheeler.

    Talking

    That was so lovely to read hebe, I'm sat here with a silly grin.

    Look forward to when we hear about the three of you going out, maybe Easter time?

    Thank you all so much! Yes, hopefully we'll all get out together soon. I still can't get over the grin on his face, it was wonderful
