Thanks for being so considerate, TruF, but believe me, my wife is a saint. She puts up with my five bikes and all the riding I can handle. But to be serious for a moment (not one of my strengths), brevets--especially the longer ones lasting many 100s of miles--require an incredible training commitment. That commitment is more than any non-cycling spouse reasonably should have to put up with, and, come to think of it, more than I would want to be a part of.
