Let her be in charge of her own destiny and stay in her comfort zone. If you deviate from her comfort zone, make sure it's her idea and not yours. My wife is terribly slow, like 7 mph, but she'll ride 20 miles or more on an outing. I just try to plan enough time that we can be leisurely about it. It's not about getting there fast, it's about face time with each other.
