Nathan lacks a lot of confidence, so I am not sure weather he will get into bikes or not. I know his mother would not approve. Only time will tell. He appears to be the envy of his class at the moment, so that is a good thing, I think.<br /><br />Yes you have guessed right, the blog to follow should make interesting reading for you. I did appreciate your advice on the Penske shock though , but I was all ready half way done the road with the alternative. <br /><br />I trust the leg is healing up, Hoping to come near you rway soon so we can talk about......ummmmm......BIKES!Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048736059922578612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545332438527100199.post-59558911208588746622010-11-15T16:40:33.629-08:002010-11-15T16:40:33.629-08:00Nice one Roger - Mt Messenger and the Gorge is one...Nice one Roger - Mt Messenger and the Gorge is one brilliant ride! Know Pukerimu Road through to Whakamaru well, a great run.<br /><br />Glad you could get some quality time with your son on the bike, all 3 of our kids have spent time on the back and I really enjoyed their company. The next question (a few years hence) is when your son wants a bike, what's the answer going to be? ;-)<br /><br />New Plymouth.... bike work... wonder if I can guess what you've had done? :-) Looking forward to the post.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545332438527100199.post-63972268250162051322010-11-15T09:26:57.004-08:002010-11-15T09:26:57.004-08:00Hi ANdrew, yes apparantly my son has not stopped t...Hi ANdrew, yes apparantly my son has not stopped talking about it, and is the envy of all his mates.<br /><br />Motoroz, I have read some your posts, it inspired me to do the same hence the trip. They do grow up very fast!<br /><br />Beemer Girl; I am looking forward to posting many blogs about road trips with my kids.

My son is 13 and we have taken major trips over the past 5 summers (10-21 days). Stopping often is critical and stopping at places specifically for the kids is also helpful. I would not trade the rides I have had with my son for anything. They are young only once.Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01781519114239212489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545332438527100199.post-26950132093459218282010-11-14T17:35:20.394-08:002010-11-14T17:35:20.394-08:00The trip sounded great!

It does sound like more time needs to be spent on their comfort and desires to keep them interested. And I am not saying that as a bad thing. :) Hope you get to enjoy a few more. Maybe let Nathan picked a themed ride? Looking forward to seeing more.BeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545332438527100199.post-9850895692245755002010-11-14T16:49:16.935-08:002010-11-14T16:49:16.935-08:00I KNow how you feel George, was pretty nervous mys...I KNow how you feel George, was pretty nervous myself, glad I did it though.
