We just built a new house right next to the skate park in uniacke, so she loves to go ride around the verts there! But otherwise any of the trails behind the uniacke house she likes to ride, more so as long as she’s on her bike she’s happy! Haha
My 6&9 yr olds love the seaview park races, hemlock ravine park, glenbourne pump track and Lower slopes of keppoch. My youngest is still working on his hill climbing stamina, but my oldest was able to make it to the top of keppoch when he was 7 on a 20inch bike with 7 speeds.
The 9 yr old (now on a 24”) and I would love to get in on a kids group ride if the timing works out-although if it looks like mainly 11ish year olds we could always drop off the back and do our own thing if he can’t hang.
Depends on the motivation-I’m never sure which version of him is going to show up-the one who’s up for over an hour of a challenging ride, or the one who wants to pack it in after 100m
My son is 11 but is still a pretty novice rider, like Drgonzo’s kid you never know if he will want to go for the long haul or give up right off the bat. Can be soooo frustrating at times lol
Hahah for any parents with kids in hockey; This is totally true for skates and sticks as well! No that 79.99 stick won’t work; they need the 329 stick; and break it second game!!!
Both my boys played hockey at a high level and my older one, in particular, played University hockey and could have played pro (remainder of the season and playoffs in the AHL and then likely to the ECHL for a “career”) In his last year of hockey where parents had to pay we spent $16685 for the year. That included our travel to watch him play. We kept track of every penny that year
Have a suck of that…kinda ridiculous when you think of it. I could have had 2 or 3 sweet bikes for that…I wouldn’t change a thing though. Great times
