There used to be a train line up into the Cape, and 22 miles of it has been turned into a bike path called (wait for it) The Cape Cod Rail Trail. Since we had dragged our bikes up on the back of the van, we wanted to try it out. Hubby followed the kids on their bikes, I walked as swiftly as I could behind with the water bottles in a back pack.
I loved admiring the scenery. The uneven talents of our children makes it difficult (Mr 6.5 was keen to go much further than Mr 4), and of course, the presence of lycra clad bike riders who can't apparently slow down when they see wobbly children makes the effort tinged with a touch of stress about keeping the kids on the right side of the road and encouraging them not to do anything sudden.
We all got home exhausted in time for lunch. It was good to remember that the kids are still small, and (especially Mr 4.5), can't go that far on bikes.
