My wife's birthday today and out of the blue she says she wants to ride her age. Now we do some tandem riding and she rides solo up to 25 miles , but today she turned 59. Divided the ride with a nice lunch and finished up with 64+ miles. She was a little cranky towards the end , but that is understandable. Now if I could only get her on a "real" roadbike.

Forget the solo- You do not realise how much of a Turbo effect the stoker can put in when asked.

Not surprised the stoker was cranky. A Birthday ride is her age- By riding an extra 5 miles you put years on her.

Guess i wasn't clear , she was on her single, which I think is tougher than the tandem. Did about 10 miles on a trail the rest on rolling country roads with some good climbs. She felt fine today .
