An interest in cycling and even (or should it be especially) in rough-stuff} can be kindled early in life. Soon after Wendy our eldest daughter was born, we began taking her for short trips in her sidecar, gradually building up to ’all day’ runs with picnic lunches, returning home for tea. In winter we occasionally rode with the local CTC Section (Cheltenham) until lunch time, after which we returned home by a direct route. Wendy slept most of the time.
