How old is she? Good on the both of ya for getting out doing what dad wants to do
. Its all about you after all.
Here's my story. My younger son, 13, is depressed from having no friends from a brand new school and he's curled up like a little ball on his seat attending class all daylong. His class are 1:45 long with dreadful monotone teachers. No one talks. I sat in for 10 min and I had to getup and leave. Anyway, I started to get him out a few times a week to ride around our canyons. He took to riding pretty well. After two weeks, we were ready for the big boy ride, so we rode for 10 miles to have lunch and rode back home including climbing the 1 mile hill to the house. I have not been riding all year, out of shape and got Covid 19 lbs instead. He likes hills, at 5'7", 115lbs, who doesn't? On my way home, he hears heavy breathing coming from me gasping for air and he turns on the gas leaving me to fend for myself beating me to the house. I got him on my Ridley with regular pedals and he loves it. He can finish a 30 miles, relatively flat ride at a moderate pace of about 13-14 mph (with time to eat lunch) without much fuss and no riding during the week sometimes. I took him on my regular route that has a two mile climb and he suffered due to the length but hung with me grinding slowly up it. I wish he gets into it and learn to be a better rider. My dream is for him to start racing. if so, I am all in 1000%. I hope to live my racing through him someday. I didn't start racing until I was 17 but had been riding pretty seriously since about 16. I am already thing about buying a new bike for him, but must refrain myself for now. The Ridley and some of my other bikes fit him just fine. He will out grow it in a couple years.
