Father and two sons

Post by Smoker43 »

Just thought I'd say hello, couple years since I've been on a bike. But time to get on the horse I suppose and get some fresh air with my two sons. Both are new and have lots to learn. Here for a good time.

Marc :thumbsup:

Great to have you!

There will likely be a Koocanusa camp-out at Easter, great terrain for family riding of all levels.

There seems to be a growing population of kids riding in our club, really great to see!

Thanks for letting me know. We may just have to check it out.

My boys are fairly new to riding, and there not sure if it's cool to fall in front of people lol

If I don't fall at least once per ride, it wasn't a ride worth going on. :thumbsup:

Welcome to the club.
The voices are back. Awesome!

Thank you all for the warm welcomes. And I look forward to the rides. I'm itching to get out. My boys are driving me nuts. :)

I will bring my 11 yr old as well. He struggled at Maclean on his crf100 last year though, another couple inches of height over the winter should help. Sunk it twice with just a handle grip above the water line.

Sorry to be a buzz kill, but we'll only let 14+ at the club night rides. If you come out to a few you'll learn the trails and you can take them out.

There is a 2 or 3 starter tracks at Wildrose MX track for kids and can build up to bigger tracks, thats what he's been doing on the crf100.

You are not being a buzz kill my man. Rules are rules. Besides fathers need time to themselves too. Not just getting away from the wife :lol:
