I Was So Much Older Then, I'm Younger Than That Now

Right now this child is having one of the best nights of sleep that he's ever had. We spent the evening riding at Town Run. He had some crashes that were quite impressive, but he perservered all the way to the end. As evidenced by the photo he's still smiling despite the dents and dings. Taking a kid mountain biking is fantastic. I highly recommend that you take one of your own kids or someone else's. We had a great evening in the woods together. He also got to see some of his favorite people in the parking lot. Even though he's shy, he likes and remembers just about everyone that he meets at the trailhead. He waves and says "Hi" to all that roll or stroll by. While most of us pass by each other silently or give a subtle nod, he gives an enthusiastic greeting as if to say, "Hey, we're out here on a bike ride together!". I think we'd all be a little better off if we were as friendly and approachable as a four year old cyclist. He sees how bikes are the common bond between a lot of really, really great people. Ah, the wisdom of the young.
