Finally got my daughter on the trail… on a Gary Fisher of all things! Geez. She’s got a nicer bike than me!
Her name’s Maddie, and she just turned 8. Only been on two wheels a month or so.

Can’t leave out Kayleigh… who’s 4, butthinks she’s bigger! She’ll be on two wheel before you know it.

Thanks for all the encouragement. We just rode doubletrack tonight, but she’ll get to try some singletrack next weekend in Brown County. This park is all intermediate at this time, and I’m not going ot let her fall down a big hill and get hurt and discouraged.
She actually was offended when I tolf her she wouldn’t be able to climb the big hill leading out of these trails. Many adults have trouble with it. She was deterimed, and actually once I showed her the granny gear, she made it 30 feet or so before hitting some loose stuf, and stopping. I convinced her to walk it up.
She will be able to do it next summer though. I’ll get some better pics next weekend with my real camera.
