This thread deserves to be revived.
In the winter finding a day when you can take an extra hour for lunch and make it into a training ride is rare. I had one such day a couple of weeks ago. As I got my bike ready, my five yo said, "we haven't gone riding together in a long time." He was right. So, my training ride that day was around the neighborhood with Logan on the trailer bike. He can really pedal too! Actually, he's the stoker for the wife when we take the whole family riding to help her up the hills. And to think she wouldn't let me name him Motor when he was a newborn!
I'd rather ride and chat with Logan than any of the other guys I regularly ride with. He's my buddy! Caroline, the seven yo is my sweetheart. She'll curl up in my lap without saying a word and we'll just sit together and talk. Life is good!
Here's my brood on the Chief Ladiga Trail last October.
