Is that a cross bike? I envy you, Jack... you are going to have a great time. Now the best I can do is ride the lovely trails here with my kids in tow. Used to be like Skip, an avid moutain biker doing about 200-300 miles a week. Those were the California days when I had no wife and kids and lived in Santa Cruz which allowed me easy access to some great trails like Wilder Ranch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OiRJ2cEunM, Soquel Demonstration Forest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if92a2AfKE4 and our favorite after work loop at the Arastradero Open Space Preserve http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-tJT9XyrF4 . Weekends found us hitting Tahoe for the Flume Trail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CFSAuAGnUc or Mr. Toad's Wild Ride http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caEbSsGtbEI . This weekend I was in my shed and saw my competitive moutain bike which saw many a race and even won the 1995 Wilder Ranch Open (Sport Class) and I almost cried. the rubber is dried and cracked and I am certain there is nothing in the suspension fork. I would be afraid to put my fat ass on it for fear the aluminium would crack...
Oh, you have fun you whippersnapper. I am certain you'll face some challenges but it sure sounds like a great manly bonding experience and one you'll always laugh about and remember fondly!!
