Your son looked quite the cyclist with his jersey & shorts, complete with Camelbak. I hope my daughter will be as interested when she gets older (20 months). For now she's happy to ride in her Burley Solo. How old is he ? What type of trail-a-bike do you have ? Geared or just one gear ? What's the farthest you've ridden with him ?
Thanks for the pics !
The ride sounded rough....12K riders !!! Yikes !!

It's very possible we mingled with some of the 50mi-100K BF riders along the way. It was warm and humid and was getting warmer after we finished around 10:00. The water hose near the finish was a welcomed sight. My son played in it for about half an hour after we finished. The last couple of years have been relatively mild so riders may have become a little complacent about the wicked mixture of heat/humidity/unforgiving sun/and blast furnace headwind the last few miles. I'll try and obtain figures on the casualties (I live here). Now the few and talentless pics.
