Kim, in between her timing-equipment-wrangling duties and some rushing-around-in-circles, at the BHPC race day in 'ull where we finally effected a transfer of the Trek she has had lodging in her living room for some time over to the EldestCub. Photographs were taken for comparison, and it would appear the boy is indeed now taller than her. And yes, she did persuade him into a couple of laps between races despite the fact that he was in his steel-toed work boots and was pretty achey due to suffering the after effects of spending half an hour this morning trying to bump start his flat-batteried motorbike - he was meant to be meeting some biker mates this morning for a brew before they went for a ride out and he came to collect me in his car to drive over to collect the Trek. I was delighted to see that despite his recent petrol-head tendencies, riding his bike still makes him grin the exact same grin he's worn on bike rides with Kim since the first one, 13 or 14 years ago.
