What a nice memory. It brought a smile to my face also & reminded me that while my husband and I were dating I bought him a Brown Continental for his birthday or Christmas (cannot remember) so we could ride together. Like you and Tom cycling wasn't a passion for us then, but sure became one.
Thank you for sharing and reminding of my own memory.

That's beautiful V! You could never forget a memory like that! And to share this fantastic sport with someone you love.
I'm lucky in that my DH is the same, he introduced the sport to me, and I think he thinks he's pretty lucky because none of his cycling friends have partners that share in the joys of cycling. Cycling has really made us closer, and happier together.

Many thanks, V.

Thats a wonderful story. It reminds me of my first organized ride back in Nov last year. I say an elderly couple getting their bikes off the car rack at the start and the gent leaning over and planting a big kiss on her cheek. I saw them later in the ride, still riding together and chatting it was really nice to see.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Thanks V. You and Thom are an inspiration!
I wish I had that same kind of partnership, but since I don't, I treasure the folks I ride with and am glad for the contribution they make to my cycling adventures. (A lot of you from this forum are part of that enjoyment and I thank you all so much!)
