Hi,

Thanks for the further input. We are only riding once per week together. We had initially decided that this would be our long weekend ride. We are doing a metric century in 5 weeks, so we are trying to extend these weekend rides. I think I will suggest that we do a recovery ride together. This, however, will most likely be her one and only time that she gets out on the bike each week. That would solve our training issue, but leaves the matter of the actual century ride. It is so nice to have others' perspectives.
