I would say Lance, but since he doesn't know I exist, (ha), my friend Ann is the best. Her son races (15yrs old) and we always compare. I call her "Cyco turd", you would now why if you saw her going down a hill !!! Yikes.

I actually have 4, my DH and my 3 boys.

My sons are the most fun, my husband is the most constant!
When he's in the right mode, he's better than the kids.
My DH, but I have to be up for it. He pushes me beyond what I'd do on my own. Last time we did the century in Tahoe, I rode with his group, almost threw up, and we finished in about 5 1/2 hours. At the beginning, with all the steeper climbing, I kept saying "Go on, just go on and I'll finish on my own or catch you at a rest stop" and he wouldn't let me back off. I was a bit irritated at the time, but I finished strong and was glad I had pushed myself.
Often need some valium to ride with my DD.![]()

My dh when he finds the time to get a ride in, otherwise my friend Chris. She is the one who pushes me. I sometimes call her Coach Chris.

My buddy Jo-Ann, because when we rode, we were about the same ability level, and would push each other. Well, she pushed me more than the reverse. But then we both got employed, and pregnant, and ...
Also my son, because he's so enthusiastic! But that's only short rides of up to 7 miles. Then he gets bored and hot.
Also our ex-exchange student, because he'd ride at my comparatively slower pace.
If my husband has our son on his bike, he's forced to my slower pace, and then I enjoy riding with him. But if he's been training and has nothing slowing him down, he has a hard time riding at my pace, and I get frustrated because we aren't riding together.
Is Matthew McConaughey available?
Favorite person to ride with?
Depends on the ride.
DH, of course, is high up on the list. But he's not one for "noodling." Cruising to take in the sights and stopping for coffee/snacks just aren't his bag. For those rides, I have a few girlfriends and those rides are cherished just as much as rides with DH.
