I like this idea if a tandem works for you.
It can allow riders of different abilities to ride together, or for both of you to ride further or faster than you could alone.
Another choice is do rides with him but you take a heavier bike, he's on road bike, you take the mountain bike.
Or do a once a week hammerfest and do rest days with him.
I rode with my cousin, also bikerz, mellisam. My cousin is simply head and shoulders better than any of us. But he was happy to ride with us, he would sometimes turn off route and simply climb a hill just for fun and then come back down and meet up. And this was his rest day![]()
Would DH be ok if you did hill repeats while he simply climbs a hill? Some people just aren't ok with that.
I agree with others that a good "biker buddy" is ideal. When you find someone who rides your speed and distance it is great.
