Skypark takeover

I think I'm in. Anybody wanna carpool from South OC?
I will be on my own program. My daughter has swim lessons in the morning. We will head up after that and will arrive around noon, if there's room to park. We may or may not ride the bike park trails. It's daddy-daughter day, so we will do what she feels comfortable and excited to do.

No carpooling, discount tickets or first ten parking for me (and that's very generous of you, @LLPoolJ).

Does she feel comfortable riding Exploration Trail?

Ha! She broke down into tears riding some braking bumps on the lowest, easiest trail in Whiting. Scared her witless. She persevered though and kept at it.

She is basically comfortable on smooth, level trails with a few "dipsy doodles." (So, y'know, G-Out at Tapia! :confused:) She won't stand to absorb bumps, so she gets to bouncing and her feet come off the pedals. She understands "posting" on a horse, but I can't get her to "post" on her mtb. "It's too scary."

If there are other kids her age, she has a better chance of being courageous. If it's just riding with Dad, she's very apprehensive.

I see. How about Skyline or Hanna Flats?

In due time. I have to get her past the constantly sitting phase. And her range is about 2 miles. (Sound familiar?)

She just turned 8, so she's a kid - not a mini adult. She likes make believe and Minecraft, not Maxxis and STRAVA.

What a great shot of the two! When my daughter was her age (she’s 22 now), she seemed to like tijeras creek at different areas between San Antonio and O’Neill Park. Do a little recon, I haven’t been there in a while. I ALWAYS liked those Motolites, go Blue Devils
