No. 1 must have been that age (edit - just checked back registration email and she was 10) when she did it and there were younger kids taking part both years we did it too, some on their own bikes, some on tagalongs and some in trailers.

They've got the big 80 or 100 or something mile route now - that'd be character building for a youngster!
