The stamina thing I think has a lot to do with their attitude presuming they are comfortable on the bike. Tom has always been OK being out all day. My daughter though never made the transition to longer rides.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597261261913925826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474569656071313291.post-70243272828792591442015-01-24T15:51:18.993+00:002015-01-24T15:51:18.993+00:00The bar has been set impressively high there! Cert...The bar has been set impressively high there! Certainly I have re-assessed the level we "may" be able to get out of our kids ;-) I noticed recently that there has been a sea change in capability in my 8 yr old (esp. on speed up hills and out the saddle climbing) who has been riding since 4-5yrs on the trails up here (need to test him stamina a bit now......). Did you notice Tom go through a BIG jump somewhere between 7 and 9?<br />mikey9https://www.blogger.com/profile/12600066401312236078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474569656071313291.post-51533019346027152782015-01-21T21:48:17.071+00:002015-01-21T21:48:17.071+00:00Mike, thanks for marshalling, you guys did a great...Mike, thanks for marshalling, you guys did a great job!

As father to an 8 year old out riding regularly on the puffer course I know the challenges - but 10 laps - in those conditions, in the cold, mainly at night was seriously impressive. Tom is an inspiration to his generation - and some great parenting!!!<br />Mike (Ben Wyvis CC (Ben Weanies section))mikey9https://www.blogger.com/profile/12600066401312236078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474569656071313291.post-45167885626335919952015-01-21T21:42:49.034+00:002015-01-21T21:42:49.034+00:00Thanks Georgie, we had a great weekend.Thanks Georgie, we had a great weekend.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597261261913925826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474569656071313291.post-14062142866557058622015-01-21T21:39:27.035+00:002015-01-21T21:39:27.035+00:00Congratulations :-) Looks like you both had such a...Congratulations :-) Looks like you both had such a great timeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070660416549423649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474569656071313291.post-87330715271649961382015-01-21T20:10:46.546+00:002015-01-21T20:10:46.546+00:00Dave that woodburner was amazing!
