Your Cycling Supporters

[Meaux]

My husband is my biggest supporter. He's great! Even when I have a bad ride and don't feel good and get all whiny, he's always telling me what a great job I'm doing and how I kicked that road's @$$.
We found a sponsor for our MS150 team, so that's financial support. This guy is also a really great guy. He's so enthusiastic and so enthralled by the fact that we're doing this ride.
My family is sort of a different story. My father-in-law cycled years ago and I think was inspired to get on the bike after DH and I started riding. Now he's be super competitive and sometimes a little mean and conceited about it. Sometimes I think that he thinks that since he rode 10+ years ago (but not since then) that he knows everything and that he's obviously better than us. Not that I have a problem taking advice, it's just the way that he gives it. He just acts like he invented the sport. It's incredibly frustrating, since I have been trying to look up to him as a father figure, and he can't be one.
