when I die and go to that other place I will be the stoker on a tandem bike with my DH. He is the reason I so enjoy riding solo. He is a love and a dear sweet man and my best friend but deep down inside he has a real problem with T poisoning when we ride together.
If I ride in front he insists he is slowing me down and to just go at my regular speed, but then he is wiped after 10 miles of keeping up with me and I am irritated at having to constantly slow down a bit for him. If he leads he will kill himself for 10 miles to keep " up to my speed" and then bail. At which point I am definitely fed up with him surging and rabbiting to stay "up to my speed."
Our solution is to ride together somehow for10iles and then I peel off and do another 30-50 miles and he dawdles his way home with a stop for coffee.
I am just convinced that wall paper hanging and riding more than 10 miles together unless it is on a charity ride with lots of other people around he can pace with, are just things that are not in our future
