Taking the kids on trail rides

[oldskool]

It's all a learning curve for everyone and a big give and take by all.
Someone said 'tolerance' is the key earlier.
What I find rewarding is the big thumbs up you get from passers as you pull over to let them by and that makes them a little bit more careful as they negotiate to pass my young 'uns.

I reckon you summed it up nicely there Reckless. Hit lots of nails on heads.

Good for us to be able to chuck a few thoughts around on here, but problem is I sincerely doubt there are (m)any 'problem parents' here on KB. Some Dads out in the dirt just don't seem that interested in guiding & looking after their kids well.

We watched at the entrance to the novice track and in goes a family with the smallest rider at the rear ..was maybe in 2 meters at best he fell off couldnt lift his bike so we go over and restart his bike and sit him on i look up and low and behold theres mum parked next to a tree just watching , well he got another meter canned off again we waited but NO she didnt move so we again helped the little guy and off he went.. 20 minutes later the guys came across the poor wee guy crying beside his bike no parent to be seen they rode with him out.... some bloody parents need a good kick up the arse
