Andy,
I think the big challenge with kids is to have a good idea of what they can
do (even if they don't know it yet) as a minimum distance. On tour of any
sort there are certain distance requirements a route demands (getting to
water, campsite, etc.). I carried enough water for 1.67 days
Or, ideally Peter, Yejuda's grow-a-bike that grows with your kids. I'd
love to see what Grant came up with for that concept. One bike quality bike
to buy from the time they can ride a geared bike until they are fully grown

daughter).
I've ridden a few great trails in the US, and Monarch Crest ranks right up
there with the finest. I rode it with a friend (on mountain bikes) a few
years back (in early October). After getting shuttled to the
I love seeing the 6, 8, 7, 5 mileage days. That's how you know it's an
adventure... when the mileage isn't impressive at all. Low miles by
necessity means there's a lot going on.
Cool comment about the daughter and the milky way. Seeing the 10 year old
boy riding his own bike on tour was a
