Martin and Alex,

Welcome to the forum! and hopefully soon the club! We have amonthly meeting every month and yes there are tonnes of family oriented riders in our mix.

Check the technical forum if you have any questions, you'll get tonnes of opinions there I'm sure.

:thumbsup:

Hi Martin
My son is 15 and we would be happy to take you out for an easy McLean tour. I have some routes that my son learned on. Its amazing how fast the kids pick it up so don't be shy to challenge them. If you camp, our campouts are where the kids learn the most. lots of seat time with their buddies under Adult supervision.

This year a club membership is required to participate in the Wednesday night guided rides.
