N°1 daughter (12, going on 18...!) had a day off school today, all ther teachers are marking exams or something, so for the first time in an age we were just the two of us cos the twins teachers were working as normal. We thought we'd go for a ride as we usually can't cos of the others. i've been meaning to take her to have a look at the tresor de Vix for a while & it being about an hour away by bike I suggested that as a destination & she jumped at the chance.
It took us a while to sort her gear out cos the jacket she had last year is just waaaay too small now, but by pushing up the sleeves of her mum's old bike jacket & undoing the zippy bits that give an extra inch on her bike trousers, we were fit to go.
8ok's there, so probably the furthest I've taken her in one hit, but no problems (no pics either) and the weather was pretty much ideal, if a little windy.
The Vix Krater
came home via montbard cos N°1 wanted to do the col de Cremant, above Bailly, on the bike & we got in around 5, having done 196k, & spent an agreeable day together without all the others, which is sufficiently rare in itself to be noteworthy. It's also a step towards going further afield with her on the bike. one pic from the route home,
