So, having cycled 35 miles yesterday, I feel great today and like I want to do that a lot more often. But there's one thing that I find difficult, and it's knowing what food to eat to keep me going. I normally rely on brioche and apple sauce/pouch smoothies, and it seems to help, but if I don't eat it in time, I get pins and needles in my feet and I can't help feeling that's not great.

Colin suggested flapjacks but I'm rubbish at making flapjacks. I'm happy to practise until I get them right, though. Do y'all have any ideas?


(Also, we ran out of water despite it being a cold day and the children not drinking much, so I should take more next time.)

That's Judith today, she ate an apple on our daily cycle. The expression is about normal for a ride though, with or without snacks, especially one that takes in speed bumps.

I bought Judith a balance bike from ebay. It came, but it needed putting together and the instructions (and spanner it came with) were a little inadequate. For example, the bike comes with mudflaps but the instructions don't.

Maybe Colin will be better able to make sense of them later.

It's this one, in case you feel you have words of wisdom.

I'm not even sure whether the bigger wheel goes at the front or the back.

Update: On further investigation, it transpires that the wheels are the same size. I may not be the best person for this job.
