I love this thread, and the stories in it. Thanks!

I rode on the 70s, then the 80s and flirted with Mountian biking in the 90s. I enjoyed it all. But it's hard to maintain alone.
When I married in 1999 my bride turned out to be a latent cyclist!
She started commuting to work by bike, and when her friend turned out to be a roadie, she got a road bike!
When I couldn't keep up with her on her bike commute I re-started riding too.

Now we both bike to work, We take cycling vacations together. I've lost 40+ pounds and feel good. She's still the hot chick I was lucky enough to marry.
This year started with a ride up Mt. Diablo, and afterward we planned our cycling calendar together.
Eight days in Montatna with Adventure Cycling! Numerous centuries! I'm aiming at the CA Triple Crown (3 doubles in one year.)
Life is good.
