Done the Virgin Money cyclone ride A with my 7-yr old daughter attached on a trail-A-bike.
I was using my heavy Claude butler urban 300 hybrid and the flats and downhills were fine if not fast, but even slight inclines were hard, and hills! Every one felt like Everest!!!
We did however finish it, and with the ride to and from the start we clocked 38.2 miles with 3hrs 23 actual ride time, so not bad at all. Pleasantly surprised actually.
My daughter never whined once and squealed with delight every time we motored through deep puddles of sped down the hills (maxed at 27mph).
I am really proud of her.
She's getting her first geared bike for her birthday next week so next year she'll be riding it on her own.... Bike that is.
