We just love riding together! Glad your BF is looking at a newer one, enthusiasm over new bikes = more riding!!

Exactly! The BF and I actually started dating by riding together. Our first date was typical but after that it was bikes and outdoors stuff for about 2 months before the weather died down a bit. It's great to find someone to be outdoors with :) And yes on the enthusiasm. I love my new bike! It makes me want to try it out doing just about anything.

My honey is a self proclaimed miser, she HATES spending money. She rode Centuries all the time when we met but that tapered off over the last 20 years and she decided she was done riding; we got rid of her 25 year old road bike and her 15 year old mountain bike... I kept telling her the new bikes were a LOT of fun; when she took that 7.4 FX out for a test ride on Saturday she came back with an ear to ear grin yelling "you were so right, I want one!!!". Now we're planning on doing a bunch or organized rides this summer. YAY!!!!!

Thanks!!

Now that my mom is gone I have loads of free time, Mary (my honey) keeps telling me "this is our time". For the first time in almost seven years we have time to go riding and cook and hang out with friends. I miss my mom, but I'm sure enjoying this new type of life.
