On a more serious note, he & I will be traveling to Belgium in 7-8 weeks. We'll do some Kermesse races (him 17-18, me some masters) first week, and he'll do a 4-day, 5-stage race for Juniors the second week. Then another week of touring France (Alps & le Tour stage finish).
It should be some good training.
