Youth Bicyle Travel / Re: Age for Two Fathers/Sons Summer Tour

8 year olds are plenty old enough.  I would think about off road or gravel road just because i think it is more fun than the highway.  My 6 year old is coming this summer for a week or so of logging road touring.
If you felt nervous, a Follow Me Tandem would let you tow a 20" wheel bike when the kid gets tired.

Lest I give the impression that it was all rideable, I should post this picture of one of the harder sections.

For what it is worth, Vik and I just rode the part of the GDR from cabin pass through to Corbin.  The route has some creek fording and a bit of washed out road, but if you are willing to get wet to your knees, then it is passable by bike.  It  is totally worth it, even though you cannot do the Elkford through to Kananaskis section.
