Good plan.
Get as much time riding together before the event as possible to get used to each other's riding style/pace and work on communication.
It's windy out there in the S-TX spring, having a reliable safe wheel to follow will make a big difference in time and enjoyment w/ someone to share the experience.
Be sure he knows that he's
your diesel motor and guardian to ride your pace not his and keep you safe in the always unpredictable gaggle of big century rides.
Sounds like an excellent bonding experience: "Pull son, and ride a straight line!"
