"I just can't help but wonder sometimes what it would be like to be with someone who loved to do what I love to do.........:"

See Annie, Emily in nc just answered your question ;-)

I'm sure there's a gal who'll chime in and say "it'd be great if I was married to someone who'd stay home and watch the kids so that I can take a break on the bike." I've got to say that cycling partners seems the way to go although both have their merrits. Lately sometimes I ride with a group, I got a late start today and so rode on my own. There was a moment when I started out I felt a little pensive to be riding alone much less having a partner who rides. But as soon as I warmed up I just felt fine, the bike cures all kinds of ills ;-)
