I lost a best friend because of cycling. She is a mother of two kids that are very active in sports and her husband worked late hours meaning she would have to ferry the kids back and forth to practice. I went out of my way to drive to the soccer fields where her kids were practicing, come up with a route and then ride with her. I always did this for her to accommodate her schedule.

We also participated in a charity ride which included free coaching. Even though there were about 30 people at all the training rides with multiple speed groups she demanded that I ride in the same group she did. I was considerably faster than she was. Even after addressing the issue, she was rude and snotty that I wanted to ride with the faster speed group.

As far as doing hill repeats while waiting her to climb the hill.... well that didn't work out either. She would be pissed by the time she got to the top and it was always ugly.

We finally just went our separate ways.

In the end, even though you do all the concession making, it might not be enough.

Good luck!
