Contract is eternal, and I have A metal band on my finger to remind me of that fact

Seriously though the way we work it, and it's agreed upon on a case by case (event by event) basis is:
1. I launch her out early (if the ride/race has staggered starts but also in training) and then chase her down.
2. I ride fixed while she rides multi-speed
3. I start with her and finish (event/climb) at my pace and then come back for her and ride at her pace.
4. Combination of all of the above
5. And then sometimes I just hang with her...

Since I push pretty hard solo and with my riding buddies, whenever I pedal with my wife or son I also have the no drop policy. Sometimes with my wife, I feel like I'm going so slow I could tip over.

I guess I presented the no-drop clause very early in the negotiations.

Unfortunately due to a momentary lapse of concentration I hit a lip on the shoulder and went down, landing on my shoulder. I'm pretty sure that I broke my collar bone.
Heading to a hospital now

I Was really joking more than anything. Usually I'll ride ahead and then cme back. Today I did the climb and then came back and did it again. She turned around at the lunch stop and I continued to the end while she ate. She sagged a little while after the stop and I was riding back to finish it...

It's confirmed. A broken collarbone and he'll need surgery later this week. X-ray to follow when we get back home.

Just happened to logon to BF while watchin the Tour of M... after almost a year off BF, and what do I see. another busted shoulder!
SO Sorry to see the results of your mishap! ouch!
There's prolly some news on the echelon list, but since I don;t get it, this is news!
Of the echeloners at the East Beach 'Worlds', no one spoke about this either, so I guess this is still new news in SB/Goleta.
Here's hopin the surgury goes well and healin happens quickly.
If I can help you 2 with anything, don't hesitate to ping me!

Yeah I saw you heading the other way too. I am from the NorCal group, and was on the tandem with my fiancee.
Sorry to hear about your injury... I broke mine during my commute (hit by car). Sucks bad.
Keep loose after it heals, my surrounding shoulder/back muscles are still tight from the injury (last year).
