Took the day off on friday to take my six year old son to Hayes track for a 'father son day' (his choice to go to a BMX track, i didn't twist his arm).
Had a great day realising how unfit i'd become over the last 25 years. Never riden on a proper track before so starting now was an eye-opener, i was out of breath the time i got to the other side of the track (about half way).
We really enjoyed ourselfs, but i was so surprised to find a track on a kid's school holiday with no kids on it
, we were there for about two hours hacking about before any sign of life, and that came in the form or two fat local kids sharing a mountain bike
Finish the day with a stop at a pizza parlour and a trip to the cinema. The boy had such a good day he wants to do it again
(result)
If i can keep him keen i might have an excuse to join the OS over 40's class (i'd have to do a bit of training
)
