My younger son Ben.
Bike Mechanic
Ben's an enduro rider..the masochistic type who races round larger bumpier circuits than me for a lot longer than me, ie MTB circuits for 24hrs. What I think is most amazing is that he is still smiling at the end..not sitting or walking very well
though!
Over Easter his brother Alex and I will be part of a crew pandering to his every wish and whim as he pits himself against terrain, fatigue and his stomach. Only a solo rider or his crew would understand the "stomach" bit....
Ben's technical skills are very good; in the past he's done Observed Trials
competitions where you jump your bike onto and off tables, logs etc etc.
and now he's not a bike courier and/or injured, he's been working hard at his fitness on his groovy and very expensive new road bike.
