Kids

To keep them motivated with something new, it's important not to make it too hard too soon.

Not a record breaking pace, but he made it all the way up the zig-zag road without stopping or complaining.

I rode up there today and it was rather cold.

I can see you're also trying to toughen him up with the summer gear he is wearimg!

[Phil H]

It wasn't too bad this afternoon - although we cooled down in the massive queue to be overcharged for tea & cake at the top.

When I want to really toughen him up, I take him on the A217 in the rain and tell him he's not allowed to drop below 18mph.

Take him up the eastern approach to Leith Hill tower on an mtb and treat him to a slice of the best fruit cake in all of surrey

Nice one Phil - good training for Nov 6th - though personally I'd roll on to Walton for a caff stop though I do like a mini milk from the NT place on a sunny day

[quote="Amy"]Pah, kids these days have everything served up to them on a plate - at his age I was riding tandem with Dad all over Surrey, including such delights as White Down and Leith Hill, doing 40-60 miles in a day

Good one Phil, he looks like he's enjoying it too

[Phil H]

He did enjoy it. After hearing of young Mr Burton's exploits though he wants to have a crack at White Lane. I'll see if I can work out a safe route from here ...

Phil, he's smiling, obviously he could go allot faster Probably just didn't want to embarrass you by getting to the top before you:)
