A couple of times a week he takes off on his bike taking advantage of the tricky downhill tracks and varying terrain.
And to get us all involved he's recently invested in an extra bike and a trailer for the boys!
As the weather has started to warm up here (thank God) we went for out for our first family bike ride à cinq at the weekend. We followed an 11km route to Le lac du Bourget and back and it was surprisingly good fun (apart from everyone forgot their gloves so had freezing hands, I wore the wrong type of trousers so ended up with holes shredded in my joggers, Lily got saddle sore, Max fell into a muddy puddle when we were stopped for a break, then once dry did it again, Stu got angry with mine and Lil's whinging, I couldn't work the gears for the first half hour and me and Lil couldn't make it up the big hill back to our house so ended up pushing).

Lily arriving back aux pieds. At least I had the sense to get back on the bike for the last corner and pretend to Stu I'd ridden up the hill.
Here's a few pics that Stu has taken on some of his recent frosty rides:

So all in all, good family fun! Hopefully we'll be able to go for some nice rides over the spring and summer.
