Although our kids are grown, there are times when they still restrict my riding. Trying to maintain some of the traditional family unit values means that I feel I have a responsibility to let us celebrate holidays at home. So, the week before Christmas, and a few days scattered throughout the year, I don't ride because I'm doing my best to fulfill my maternal duties. My husband just is not very athletic and has an aversion to sweat, so we don't ride together. If you take the year as a whole, family time probably pushes my weekly average milage down to 70 or 80. I think that is moderate, although some of you would consider it casual. Actually, the time off probably keeps me from overdoing it.
