[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First responder again..maybe we were lucky but our guides did always seem to be at our beck and call!  We were very impressed.  They were terrific with the kids.[/quote]

Is it realistic for the adults to cycle as much and as hard as we want on days where there is no kid-specific activity listed and assume our youngest will be entertained with other kids and a guide, or will one of us (me) ride with and support our youngest? [/quote]

PP who replied a couple times here.

They assume a parent is staying with a cyclist that young.  They are not staffed to have a guide riding with your kid at all times and personally I would not let a kid ride alone at that age.   These are long routes with traffic in some parts and they will need to be following a GPS device in the bike.  During bike rides there is not a guide with a kid group.  What typically happens is the teens and and any strong adults get way out front (everyone is very very spread out on the route) and younger kids a parent stays with them.

The recommended age for these trips is 9 I think.  An 8 year old will be challenged.[/quote]
