Full side quest

We have gone full side quest this past month, last few weeks of the school summer holidays. I can tell you that no matter which way you look at it, 6 weeks is a mighty long time.

Outside time has been the name of the quest. We now finally all have bikes, and we have managed to get a 2nd hand bike trailer for the youngest to sit in while we ride. Upside is it works as a push chair as well, even if rather large. As it is second hand it’s missing a single piece, the optional piece that converts from Full Axle to Quick Release. Yes a tiny bushing/spacer that changes down to the 5mm for the trailer connector. The hunt continues.

My bike took near on 3 weeks to finally arrive, some delay of some sort somewhere apparently. I mean there was one on the shop floor, but I had to have a red one and not a dark grey one. So as a result half of summer before I could go for a ride with my eldest. In fact this weekend was the 1st long ride we could do. A fair greenway stint, but in hindsight slightly too far for a youngster. But he did really well.

As the rain finally returns and looking to sounding out a routine now school is back in session we can potentially work out some sensible timing to build and paint those models.
