I'm trying to plan a father-son ride for me and my 8 year old son. He has only been riding for 3 months (KLX 110), and has only ridden 4 places.
#1 In the field behind my Dad's house.
(he did pretty good, until I made a lot of ruts with my bike)
#2 On the lawn
(he goes faster than my wife and I would like, including racing his friend with an XR80)
#3 Swanton, Ohio
(he did terrible, flopped his bike over at almost every turn. This was an exercise in patience. Took about 2 hours to do 6 miles)
#4 Mild Jeep roads in Colorado and Utah
(he did great, was a huge moral boost for him. we did about 80 miles)
So what I would like to know is...
Of all the trail systems in Michigan, where should I take him where he will have the best experience?
Also, I would also like to take him to the CCC kids ride in Aug, but he doen't have his saftey training yet.
Does anyone know when the next kids saftey training is?
Thanks a lot,
