To my kids. Jordan first, since he's the oldest:
This is how we would travel around town:
It was fast and efficient. He actually rode singletrack on that alleycat before he rode it on his own. He even did a multi-day White Rim trip on it when he was 4.
His first time on singletrack (Primecut in Fruita):
Jordan's first trip to Moab. He's about 5 in this shot:
Then at about 9 or 10 years old (JEM trail area near Hurricane,UT):
Yep, he likes the techy stuff (12 years old):
Second ride on a rigid singlespeed:
Lovin' that singlespeed.
Coaching little sister down a tricky spot:
I told you he liked the road bike, too:
Riding up the Susten Pass in Switzerland.
And struggling up the Gotthard Pass the next day:
Our last ride together in '07 (it was either Dec. 30 or 31);
Our first ride together in '08 (Slickrock on New Year's Day):
The morning of our big race:
He and I rode our singlespeeds in the 24 Hours of the Old Pueblo, me on my Edge and him on my old Surly. Both rigid and both hating it and loving it at the same time. He now wants to do some more races this summer, in the same duo 24 Hour theme. I've created a monster!
