New riding buddy
My 32 yr old son asked if I still ride.Sure as much as I can.I'll ride with you today.OK. After setting him up on my spare bike ( he is 3 '' smaller than me)Off we went.We rode for an hour but I noticed the saddle was uncomfortable for him so I cut the the ride short.We are going to do a Tour of Woodbridge in 2 weeks a 30 mile event.He plays rugby but says he wants to do this.Nobody is more surprised than me.I asked him to wear a helmet and he did. Lets see what happens

I predict many miles of good times and memorable conversation.

I told my 32-year old son "If I'd known I was going to inherit your mtb the minute you got your driver's license, I would have bought you a better bike!"

My 28 year old daughter and her husband are driving out this weekend to ride the VivaBikeVegas Century with me tomorrow. I am so tickled! I can appreciate your joy at having your son join you. Its as good as teaching her to ride her first bike.
Now I need to find a way to slow the son in law down, HE CAN'T DARE BEAT ME!

It's pretty cool when one of your own wants to go riding with you.

My son and I love riding together, but when he left the army, he stayed in North Carolina and I am in Mid Ohio. So, we don't get to ride together much these days.
