that is so cool... I can hear how exciting it was for you from your post

I am always amazed when I do event rides how many really little kids are out there!

on the Tour de Poway there was a little girl with her dad... her bike had streamers... she looked to be maybe 7 or 8 yrs old... and did 50 miles with a LOT of climbing... dad helped her up some of the steep stuff but man, how cool is that???
