There's a new Grouch in town.
Tuesday my son and (mostly) his wife produced a new potential bike rider. She's only 4 lbs 13 oz so I'm thinking she's bound to be a great climber. My son says she definitely has bike rider's legs. He should know something about bike rider's legs since he rode his first century this fall in only 5 hrs and 10 minutes.

Hope she's doing okay if she's only four pounds.
I think a pink bike with multicolor streamers might be in order in a couple of years.

Mom and dad are planning to take over our Santana road tandem. My son, a machinest, helped a friend fabricate a 4-link suspension for a baby trailer a couple of years ago. I think that he has his eye on that too. Even so, next summer might be a little soon for bicycling with the baby - we'll see.

Pics required please.
Young Oakley is now 11 weeks old and That time has gone fast. Luckily he is my second grand child and is still getting spoilt a bit. Unlike Ferne who is still getting spoilt a lot.

I'm waiting to see how you mount the baby seat on the recumbent. Congrats. I don't know if this is your first grandchild, but I'm sure enoying the role of grandpa.

Well congratulations are certainly in order to you and all your family, especially the new mini-grouch. Glad to read that mom and the granddaughter are home and well. What a great Christmas present. Our son is a 23 Dec baby.

Nope, I'm a well experienced grandad. This is number 15 but every single one is special. Depending on how you count them I also have 4 great grandchildren. The whole clan will be getting together on December 26.
