I almost always ride alone or with my wife. Like 99.9999% of the time.
So, today, the owner of our local Fitness 19 Health Club and I went out together. His bike is still in California, but he has years of experience riding - far beyond my experience these last 6 years.
His dad (my age - 64yo) is a biking nut, and they also rode together a lot.
So, I lent him my spare road bike, which, with a minor seat raise, fit him fine for a 25 mile ride.
What a ball. I had a blast. I also increased my average speed about 2 mph, and where I normally go 20mph, I was going 24.
Anyway, we had a great conversation as we went along, we rode about the same speed, and we will do it again!
