UP with greenhorns

[frnash]

my biggest fear is new riders stoping [sic] where they are causing dangers

They do that on the trail? Yeah, I know, it is mining country (or at least it was). But that could be hazardous!

stoping (verb, transitive): To remove (ore) from or mine by means of a stope.

I have the same worries, I'm heading up to UP in about 3 weeks for my 12 year old sons first trip with me. I have taught him so far the best I can on how to approach blind corners, hills etc. I will set the pace and we will be as careful as we can. But the only way he is going to love the sport as much as me is to get out and ride. Have fun and be safe.

I hope your son realizes how lucky he is to have such a cool dad!!!
In a 12 year olds world a sled trip up north is the end all be all. I remember the first time I took my son and first time he was old enough to ride his own machine. Awesome memories! Good job dad!!!!
