my turn to be humiliated by my ignorance....
what is SAG?
~T~

I don't think anyone said...
but SAG stands for 'Support And Gear.'

Cheers.

Cindy, I gotta say, you sure don't look your age!!! Yet another benefit of cycling and being married to a wonderful guy!!

My DH gets asked frequently to join men's bike groups but he always turns the offers down. He says he'd rather bike with me Now I'm overweight, pokey, ooh & ahh over every beautiful home & garden on the route, and am doggedly determined on every hill while he waits for me at the top. He'd probably have more fun flying along with a group of guys. But every time we see the "peloton" zoom by us, he always mutters something about "How come you never see these guys riding with their wives?" like they're really missing out on the best part of biking!

Well was THIS ever a welcome lift to my spirit Nuthatch ... thank you so very much. Really.

And yeah .. he is a wonderful guy ... I take credit for picking him out but am way glad he chose me too.

A definate keeper ... I hope you are as proud of yourself for continuing to keep pedaling (especially up those hills!) as your dh is of you.

Things my DH does right:

The comments that glorify a ride. Example: We were riding one dark and rainy night through an underpass where I could hear the crunching of many small and presumably sharp objects under our tires. I wondered aloud what our tires were picking up. His dry comment (and it was the only thing dry that night) "Experience".

His willingness to ride with me. We took a ride on a very cold windy day to a neighboring town for lunch. The ride there was fun, hitting highs in the 30's with that tailwind. Uphills felt like downhills. Going home was a whole 'nother matter. Hills, headwinds and cold. Miserable. At one point we agreed that one of us should be screaming threats of divorce and dismemberment at the other. We were laughing together instead.

He's enabling my wish to tour. Together we're getting William ready for touring, discussing my routes, and he's even volunteered to come get me if I don't make it home in time to make it to work.

He isn't jealous of William and Walter (my bikes).

Things my DH does wrong:

I'll never tell. (HE gets an earful, though.)
