Hey – My son just started riding with me too. He’s 13 and just started getting into being healthy (fit, eating right, etc). He went to an outdoor mountain lab with our homeschool group and had a great time!!! So it’s not hard to get him to head out with me.
My guy built me a full suspension mtn bike last year and a few months ago, while I was in DC with my oldest, he took my son out on my bike for a few rides. Now they are building a bike for him. Once we get the fork in he’ll start doing some serious rides with us. Right now he’s using a dirt hopper that we use for trail riding (hard tail).
I’m new enough to riding that I’m not hard to keep up with. 😏 We snowboard together all winter. I love the together time with the men in my life and am loving this new passion!!!!
