Bike ride

I've had Samantha's bike riding outfit for a while but it hasn't been the weather for trying it on yet.

Pippa was so wanting to go for a ride, last weekend she thought she'd try the outfit on first, just in case.

It comes with a hat

that is a little big for her head

a beautifully embroidered white shirt, bike riding pants, boot covers and a pink bow for her hair attached to a hair elastic, hmm I better consult the catalogue to get the names of these things right

Samantha's Bicycling Outfit

bloomers, embroidered blouse, pink hairbow, faux straw hat and removeable garters

having her hair in a pony tail

helps keep the hat out of her eyes

the garters

don't fit around boots (My American Girl meet outfit boots)

brochure - there is something black and shiny under there - might be her meet black mary janes, silly shoes for riding a bike in in my opinion

the elastic goes under the sole

Anyway, the decision was not to wear this on this particular day, it was quite cold and very windy and the hat was most likely to end up blowing away, so Pippa re-dressed in her previous outfit, and went off to see if Llewellyn would join her for a ride

Llewellyn was very keen to try out her new bike, Miriam no bike but inline skates was coming too, but the road close to home is very unskate friendly, so they asked to be taken down to the bike path that goes around the dam

Hmmm, no bike rack

The safer option (in the boot)
