That was nice that your kid took you up on the challenge. Now, one day he may challenge you — like, 6 hours of playing XBox (or whatever gaming system he has). Now that will test your manhood! Kat Wilder´s last blog post..Susan Boyle can sing, but will she ever get kissed?

I love taquerias. Yum. And yes, I agree. I hate not having that one-on-one time with my girls. I try to squeeze in something once in a blue moon but yeah, its rare. Sounds like a great ride! But 6 hours?! Sheesh! T´s last blog post..Call me a cougar or call me romantic

I have a similar issue. It’s difficult to get time with my 15.5-year-old, since she’s always in her room or out. I started walking her to her dance class and offering to take her to Starbucks, which is a block away, so we can walk together. I try to make a conscious effort every day to have a little time with her; otherwise, days can go by (and my kids are with me pretty much full time) and we won’t get alone time. Their dad makes an effort in a different direction–he’ll take one of them to Los Angeles for a weekend during a time when it works for my other daughter to stay with me.

Have a great weekend! I just ran on the trails in Wunderlich…it was gorgeous.

What a great story. With my son only 2 1/2, this is the kind of thing I can't wait to be able to share with him as he gets older. Only not the six hours of biking. I'm thinking maybe a walk through the park or something. Heh. Canadian Bald Guy´s last blog post..Twitter Tales: 04-16-09

You should try the Hotter ‘n Hell 100 in Wichita Falls, Tx. Not that I’ve tried it, but can you imagine biking 100 miles in 100 degree temps?

It sounds like you two had a great week and two great rides. Isn't it fun to share our passions (and theirs)! Kids learn that they are individuals with valued interests and learn to appreciate new and different interests (ours!) I hope you are able to have such a week with your daughter too - before she leaves the nest and starts her own life... The Exception´s last blog post..One of Those Days
