Is SGTiger your wife? You know, DH's are invited on Seattle TE rides. You wouldn't be the only man there!
Sorry for the drift, Hellosunshine.

Yup, SGTiger is my keeper. She claims keeping track of me is not a one-woman job but she's been doing so for nearly 12 years now.
I was supposed to do a ride with you all but we ended up not going. I've been trying hard to encourage her to get out and ride with other people. As much for the companionship as anything else. It'd be cool for me too.
I frequently end up being the cat at the front of the paceline because I tend to hold a decent, steady pace. I don't normally care who's back or what they are doing as long as they don't half-wheel me. I towed one lady from Kenmore to the U-District at 17 mph once. She seemed really happy when we parted ways. She explained that she'd been feeling a little "sluggish" lately but once she caught my wheel, her intent was to see how long she could hold it. I think it was in her the whole time but if I can help someone feel better about themselves, I'm all for it.
The problem we've been having is finding someone to mind the rug monkeys while we ride. We can put our daughter in her trailer and go for hours, but the boy is a little more complicated. Too big for a trailer and while he likes the trail-a-bike, he's only good for about 10 miles before he's done. When he's done, everyone knows it.
So, I tend to do my riding after she gets home from yoga because I'm comfortable riding in the dark. Weekends are hers to go on rides as she pleases. Thus, you are more likely to see her on a ride than me.
