Great suggestions here! BF got me riding a few months ago when he was just getting back into it after 2 years. Right now I am quite a bit stronger and way more fit. I have a hard time staying on his wheel but if I go ahead to pull I leave him behind.I feel bad cause this was something of our 'together' time and the poor guy has to hear about it from people that see me way out there in front of him all the time.
I had someone experienced people tell me I should race and he was quite proud of that but I am sure his ego has been taking a beating. Yesterday I sat behind him for 75% of the ride and barely broke a sweat so I let that be a light day for me. We averaged 17.9 and my best ever on the same 20 mile loop three days prior was 19mph. I am going to take some of the advice of posters here and find a riding partner that is more at my level for some of my rides. I ride solo a few days a week and I just remembered there is a group ride at LBS once a week that I could do too.
It sounds like he could eventually be faster than me so I better not let this go to my head!
Great thread!
