Bike Riding at Bicentennial Park

Since Daniel has been confident with riding his bike, James has had the dream of taking him to Bicentennial Park to go for a big bike ride. I've kinda spoiled that plan by saying that I wanted to come too because it sounded fun. Now that Eliza is confident on her bike we decided to give it a go. James and I don't have bikes at the moment, and even if we did we wouldn't have been able to get them there because we don't have a bike rack for the car so instead we hired 2 bikes for 2 hours. We also got a Weehoo for Alexander to go in - basically a seat that goes behind James' bike and he can pedal along too. So fun!

It was great fun riding around with the kids and a beautiful day for it. Alexander did well helping Daddy pedal (although him leaning side to side apparently made it a bit tricky to balance).

We decided to head to the shipwrecks lookout. We stopped at some lookout towers along the way.

I do love me a spiral staircase!

We rode over bridges

and through the gorgeous parkland.

I was very proud of how Eliza did on her bike because this would have been the biggest ride she had done. She wasn't confident to wave to me though as she rode past.

I loved how much Alexander enjoyed the weehoo. James definitely made it fun too by riding fast at times. Alexander's giggle is just the best!

We made it to the shipwreck lookout and spotted as many ships as we could and also had a morning tea break.

Then we headed back via a little playground where the kids played on the 'road'.

We headed back to the bike hire place and returned our bikes. 

What a fun day! I'm glad James held off going until all of us could go. And the weehoo was just perfect for Alexander. I think he would have been a bit bored just sitting in a chair so I'm glad that he could pedal and be more involved. We will definitely do it again.
