    Take the long way there, working out hard. Recover on the easy spin on the way home with them.

    I have a 12 year old who rides and have found it impossible to get any kind of workout when riding with him. I ride with him becuase I want to spend time with him. I workout without him. It keeps both of us happy.

    I have a sweet new 9-yr old...I say new cause she is new to me, I am marrying her dad. Her mom died of cancer a few years ago. She has ridden the Livestrong challenge two years in a row (10 miles). She has an itty bitty road bike. She likes to ride with us, her dad rides on a race team and I am a pretty aggressive rider. We take turns riding with her, the other will ride ahead, sprint a bit, stretch our legs, then circle back. I spend more time riding with her than he does (nature of the beast)...I make myself take a hill in my hardest gear and keep pace with her (going so slowly is hard!).
    If we need to get a longer ride in, we are able to leave her for an hour or so...then we pick her up and spin another 10 with her.

    LOL!!!! Thank you! I haven't "announced it" quite yet....the ring is sitting in a little blue bag on a shelf (he is teasing me) because his (our) daughter has some big plans for Valentine's day for the two of us. Can't disappoint her. But we have decided to do it...I am very, very, lucky!

    Whoa! Not to digress, but Chris, that's fabulous! I am really happy for you.

    +1 on taking the long, hard workout route on the way to pick up the kiddos, and taking the scenic route home.

    And ++++++1, KC on your upcoming engagement. Woohooo!
