You'd think that after five years of doing this, we'd be taking Junior Cycle Tour in our stride. However, when you consider that this year we had eight children in six different age/distance categories, you can imagine the chaos that ensued just to register them, never mind on the actual day!
At 08h00 it was Andel and me with five kids, five bikes, two bags and a pram, trying to get the bigger kids ready for their race.
By 10h00 they had completed their races, and we were joined by Yaya, Dom and Garth, and the rest of the riders for the later rides.
To give you an idea of what the morning felt like: when we got home a little after 13h00, which would only have been marginally later than we do on a regular Sunday once we've been to church and popped out for groceries, I felt like I had
worked an entire day!
Below, in no particular order, are pictures from various people, taken throughout the day. I'm sure you can understand that I had zero time to take pics!

| So keen: at the start 20 minutes before the time |
 |
| Not quite as keen on this cycle race business |
 |
| Seems Peyton shares Bayley's sentiments |
 |
| Taking in the view? |
 |
| Bonny and her babies - just missing Adi & Bay |
 |
| These boys - doing it for themselves |
 |
| Start-line selfie |
 |
| And perhaps some nerves? |
Until next year then...
