This made me think about my son. Seems like it was just yesterday that he could barely keep up on his solid rubber tired bike. But overnight he grew-up we have gone on two tours down the pacific coast. The last being last summer. My son and another father and son team. Rode from Canada to Calif. The sons could have gone alot further alot faster. But we all had the time of our lives. Now both our sons have moved away and I know we both miss them very much and and cherish that trip. Our sons kept us laughing all the way down the coast.

They both fixed up digital movie cameras onto their bikes. We have like 9 hours of video. Just last week the other dad called me and said he had just been watching the dvd my son had made of the trip and how glad he was that I had encouraged him to go. He struggled the first few days ok the first two weeks. Ok most of the trip. But it was an amazing exsperience.
