    Yeah, what Mimi said....don't assume he's going to be slower than you just because you're on a road bike and he's on a hybrid. My DH can whip my butt on his hybrid, wouldn't matter how fast a bike I was on! Guys are just generally more powerful riders with their big long leg muscles and all....

    Try riding together for a few weeks first and see what happens!

    We have ridden together and I had to circle and go back and find him. He is not much bigger or taller than I am. He IS stronger, but he was struggling!

    When you and DH were both on Hybrids; how well matched were you speedwise?
    about perfectly matched.
