Day 17  |  Happy New Year!!  What a gorgeous day to start the new year!  The sun was shining and it was hot early!

So it was time to revisit another Douglass family holiday favourite - a bike ride along the rail trail between Clyde and Alexandra to the swimming pool!  And this year, it was a first for Austin, as he also rode his own bike.  Up until now he's always been on the seat on the back of my bike.  It's probably safe to say it was a pretty slow trip in, with quite a few water stops, but he did it - 8 kilometres on a 30 degree day!

After our swim, Steve, Hayden and I also biked back to Clyde through our favourite bike track - the Millenium Trail along the river.  24 kilometres of biking for the day for us.  Definitely a well deserved drink when we got home close to 5.30pm tonight!

A great way to start the New Year, and now wishing you all the best for 2017!
