Katy Trail ride

[nc tam]

What a great trip! Thanks for the post.

I have been wanting to ride some of the long trails since I discovered they existed. I have been waiting for my son to get old enough. He would never last longer than 2 hrs in the trailer (unless he fell asleep!). Fine for a half day on the VA Creeper but not suitable for anything longer. But now he's riding on his own (barely) and we could rent a trailer-bike or tandem for a long day or multi-day trip. Throw in camping and lots of treats and I think he'd be on board.

I think bike touring could make a great family trip but I'm too nervous to ride with my son on the road. These long trails are such a great option.

Yes they are, we would like to take our grandchildren for a shorter ride on the trail. Ethan is almost 10 and would be all for it, Isabel is 6 and couldn't do it yet. Maybe in a couple of years - before they are too old and don't want to with us.
