Taking photos solved part of the speed difference issue between my husband and I. (He's the fast one, not me.)

On long, scenic rides, he's responsible for the camera, and has to take so-many pictures an hour. So he has to stop. He will also ride ahead and catch me on an uphill or downhill or with some nice background.

Now and then I pick up the camera so there can be some pictures of him, too.

I don't like taking that many photographs, but whatever it takes to even our speed up works for me.
