LanceB Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 He certainly did appear to be paying attention, incentive boosted by some choice bits of parental provided candy. I was jealous of those WTB tyres on his bike. Hopefully an EWS 2027 campaigner in the making.

marko35s Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Time for an update here.After a year the bike has been put through its paces in a big way and Ben has gone from strength to strength. Until Tokai died we were up there three or four times a week but since then we have been out and about at Paarl, Stellenbosch (G-Spot, Coetzenberg) Contermans, Meerendal, Bloemendal, Hoogekraal and a fair few visits to Chris Nixon's place.As a bit of an *anniversary* ride we were at Hoogekraal and Contermans on Sunday, Ben battled a bit with his asthma at first but by the time we got to the top of Contermans all was well and he was off like a stabbed rat.It's fair to say the bike has been put to good use and is still going strong. The top of Hoogekraal on Sunday http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/Hoogekraal%20july%2015-10_zpsi724l5nl.jpg Paarlhttp://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/IMG_459903425223614_zps60xg8ene.jpeg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/IMG_461185414823665_zpsnxl86if5.jpeg Chris Nixon's http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/Ben%20drop%20at%20Chris%20Nixon_zpslslarmew.png http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/Ben%20jump%202_zpshgipiscj.png
marko35s Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 I meant to add this, the little maniac had a few fastest of the day/week moments at Tokai over the last year. This one is notable for the person in sixth place, Hub admin being slapped into place by an 11 year old. Oh the shame...http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/Ben%20Strava_zpsv2oassmp.png

Hairy Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Met your youngster once at Conters, good boy that and I am glad he is giving you old timers a hard time. Poor jokes aside, the father / son riding trails thing is a very special bond that you guys are creating there!
