At first Maria was a bit reluctant to let me take Nick on the Chariot attached to my bike :-), but he was pretty keen and grabbed his bottle to jump in the Chariot without even noticing I was going to pull it with the bike ... So, of we went for a 45min ride in the North West. Probably 10 min in and he was already asleep ! I stayed on pathways all the time and even walk to cross the lights ::@@ The Chariot feels super sturdy and the bike handles it very well, these things are well designed ! We rode all the way up to Rocky Ridge and around on Country Hills.. I love the path systems in Calgary, we are so lucky to live in such a great city :-)))) It is almost like it has been built for families with kids, so many things to do. On Sunday I decided to stay proactive and worked on setting up the three car seats in the van (yeah, we bought a mini van ....). I set up Nick's seat in the third row (way back) and the two buckets in the middle row to have easy acces...

Oh well, the first race of the season just before the twins come !! Yeap, with Maria is only 5 weeks from the scheduled C-section and I couldn't go away for too long so I decided to drive to Salmon Arm early Saturday morning (4:30am) and back to Calgary right after the the race on Sunday ouch(*&/ Craig M. couldn't quite get his head around the idea of driving that early and probably me either, but Mani is an early riser and so I am, so it ended up working well for both because we got there early enough to have a nice pre-ride of the course and have time to socialize and catch up with friends over lunch. At the campground all I did was thinking of Nick and Maria as I am used to be chasing him around and playing with him before and after any race.. So, I was a bit sad that they couldn't come with me this time. After an afternoon nap we went out with the Terrascape team for diner (pasta) and had a great time including an Oreo Blizzard at DQ :--)...
