Yesterday we all rode a loop of the Mandeni mountain bike track. Jackson was on his bike, Josie in the bike seat on my bike with Richard, and I got to ride Richard's wonderful 29er. The Mandeni loop is about 10km on single track, Jackson completed it in just under 2 hours, not bad for a 5 year old - and he didn't whine once, not once. He was even keen to do more. If he keeps going like this, Rich will be struggling to keep up with him in a few years time. Little does Jackson know he is getting his first Giant Mountain bike (complete with gears and front suspension) next week when we go to Canberra as an early birthday present (its already bought and hiding in Uncle Andrews garage).
Well done little man!
