Riding with Fathers/Sons
Here are some pics of my Dad and I. I started riding about 5 years ago, Dad picked it up shortly thereafter.......great way to spend time together.
Who else gets to spend some quality time on two wheels with their pops?

In my case, I'm the dad. My younger daughter started riding longer distances with me when she was about 12, now 21. She still rides with me when she's home, but she's off at college most of the year now. I'll post this embarrassing shot of her efforts to get over a garden hose on a mountain bike. But she has a good sense of humor. I have a grandaughter who is now 12 and has professed interest in riding with me now.

I'm the dad... have spent some of the best times of my life riding with my step sons and nephews and my daughters are becoming very competent cyclists... my 12 year old may have just grown into her new road bike so am looking forward to seeing if I can keep up with her.

Here a picture of my son riding Alison Woods with me. Getting the bike and spending time out riding has been the best investment I ever made. Just so much fun. Next time I'll need to find someone to take a picture so we can be in it together.
